WRITERS' CHAT ROOM

We’re keeping the lights on late for this monthly hangout with host and local author Jennifer Edelson!

Writing is awesome, but let’s be real...it can get a little lonely staring at the same desk night after night. So why not shake things up? Come kick back with fellow writers, swap stories, chat about the craft, and maybe even spark some new ideas. Whether you’re cranking out chapters, scribbling poems, or just daydreaming about your next big project, this is your space to connect and recharge. Plus, we’ll have coffee and tea available for purchase to keep the creative vibes buzzing all evening long!

PLAY TEST GAME NIGHT

Once more unto the game board, dear friends—it’s time to play! We’re thrilled to welcome back Rebel Play Studio’s very own Laurie Peterson.

If you’ve joined us before, you already know Laurie brings the fun like no one else—surprising us with clever twists, laugh-out-loud moments, and games that keep everyone on their toes. And if this is your first time? You’re in for a treat! Laurie’s cooked up an all-new mystery game just for us, and we can’t wait to see what playful chaos unfolds. So grab your friends, your dice-rolling hands, and your best game face—because we’re turning the Beastly Den into a playground of imagination and strategy once again. You don’t want to miss this monthly tradition of surprises, laughter, and a whole lot of friendly competition!

BEASTLY BOOK CLUB

October's book pick is Moonflow by Bitter Karella hosted by Kimmy!

Moonflow is three-time Hugo Award nominee Bitter Karella's debut horror novel-a gloriously queer and irreverent psychedelic trip into the heart of an eldritch wood and the horrors of sisterhood. Answer the call of the forest, if you dare.

I see something out there, in the woods. It does not have a face.They call it the King's Breakfast. One bite and you can understand the full scope of the universe; one bite and you can commune with forgotten gods beyond human comprehension. And it only grows deep in the Pamogo forest, where the trees crowd so tight that the forest floor is pitch black day and night, where rumors of strange cults and disappearing hikers abound....and something is luring them into the heart of the forest, and they must answer its call.
