This August we are reading ‘The Midnight Timetable’, by Bora Chung, translated by Anton Hur

In a labyrinthine research facility, where those who open the wrong door might find it's disappeared behind them or that the echoing footsteps they're running from are their own, an unnamed protagonist begins their night shift under the watchful eye of the building's enigmatic senior guard.

Each evening, as the fluorescent lights hum and the silence grows heavier, the guard shares another tale of cursed objects and lives unspooled by vengeance, sorrow, or revelation. But these are not mere ghost stories. They're warnings. Lessons. Or, perhaps, confessions ...

As the nights stretch on and reality frays, our protagonist starts to suspect that the building itself is alive with malevolent intent and that the objects they guard aren't just cursed.

They're waiting. Watching.

First Thursday of each month, 6.00 pm to 7.00 pm.

Our next book club pick is The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley, which will be discussed in store on Thursday 4th of July at 6pm.

About this month’s book:

An exquisitely original and feverishly fun fusion of genres and ideas, The Ministry of Time asks: What does it mean to defy history, when history is living in your house? Kaliane Bradley’s answer is a blazing, unforgettable testament to what we owe each other in a changing world.
