Ghouls, Goblins, and Aliens: SFFH Reading Group

Welcome to Ghouls, Goblins and Aliens, our Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror reading group. Your hosts, May and Roxane, will guide you through what’s great, what’s new, and what’s completely underrated, every month until the end of the world (mwhahah, etc. etc). Our spooky halloween-y pick for October is The Pale House Devil by Richard Kadrey. It's a gripping and snappy 'creature feature' from the master of horror noir about two detectives - one dead, one living - hired by an embittered old landowner to banish a bloody cosmic monster from his ancestral home... Spooky, amirite?

Ford and Neuland are paranormal mercenaries-one living, one undead; one of them kills the undead, the other kills the living. When a job goes bad in New York, they head west to wait for the heat to cool down.

There, a young woman named Tilda Rosenbloom hires them on behalf of wealthy landowner, Shepherd Mansfield, to track and kill a demon haunting a mansion in remote northern California.

As Ford and Neuland investigate the creature they uncover a legacy of blood, sacrifice and slavery in the house. Forced to confront a powerful creature unlike anything they've faced before, they come to learn that the most frightening monster might not be the one they're hunting...
