University at Albany Libraries

The virtual Summer of Horror Book Club has officially begun! Our June selection is Edenville by Sam Rebelein.

A small town. Strange happenings. A place where the line between reality and nightmare grows thinner with every passing day...

Join readers from UAlbany and beyond as we spend the month exploring this unsettling horror novel together. Discussion is taking place all month long in the University Libraries' Discord server in our Summer of Horror forum, where you can share reactions, theories, favorite moments, and plenty of spoiler-filled discussion as you read.

Then, on Wednesday, June 24, at 6:30 p.m. EST, we'll gather for our virtual book discussion. At 7:00 p.m. EST, we're thrilled to welcome Sam Rebelein for a live author Q&A.

Whether you're a student, faculty/staff, alumnus, or community reader, you're welcome to join us. You read that right, ALL ARE WELCOME!

Happy reading. We'll see you in Edenville.

Summer of Horror returns this June and July with two chilling reads perfect for long nights, stormy weather, and questioning every strange sound you hear after dark.

This summer, we’re diving into:
🩸 Edenville by Sam Rebelein
🏮 Japanese Gothic by Kylie Lee Baker

Expect unsettling small towns, gothic dread, ghosts, buried secrets, creeping paranoia, and plenty of nightmare fuel along the way.

Our Summer of Horror Book Club takes place virtually on Discord all summer long, with live Zoom discussions at the end of each month. Whether you’re a current student, faculty member, staff member, alumnus, or community reader, all are welcome — we’d love to have you join us virtually this summer.
