You can read some, all, or none of the books. No pressure! Everything is read at your own pace. We just ask you use spoiler tags for spoilers.
And if you don’t want to join discord to discuss these books please feel free to post your thoughts in the comments on this post.
Midnight in Chernobyl was so good! Worth every minute I spent reading it. Books like this are why I no longer find books by the likes of Stephen King and others to be scary. The real world is actually scary, clowns in sewers not so much.
I would also argue the HBO mini series is every bit as good. They nail in tension and how it must have felt to be there.
