Weird Girl Bookclub
Midslumber Media’s new “Weird Girl” Book Club is a PDX based book club that explores a wide array of books across numerous genres featuring women who are messy, unhinged, taboo, and undoubtedly weird .
Don’t let the club name fool you, all are welcome!
You’ll find thoughtful discussions, a little chaos, and a local community that lives for the “good for her” moments.

SEPTEMBER WEIRD GIRL BOOK CLUB PICK
Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect Victorian governess. She’ll dutifully tutor her charges, Drusilla and Andrew, tell them bedtime stories, and only joke about eating children.
But the longer Winifred spends within the estate’s dreary confines and the more she learns of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family, the more trouble she has sticking to her plan. Whether creeping across the moonlit lawns in her undergarments or gently tormenting the house staff, Winifred struggles at every turn to stifle the horrid compulsions of her past until her chillingly dark imagination breaches the feeble boundary of reality on Christmas morning. Wielding her signature sardonic wit and a penchant for the gorgeously macabre, Virginia Feito returns with a vengeance in Victorian Psycho.

“Hey y’all! My name is Madison and I’ll be running horror bookclub! I read a lot of horror (and sci-fi/fantasy/anything that piques my interest). A little about me: I’m a software engineer, I have two cats and one dog, and I’m an avid hobby collector. I’m super stoked to be here! I’ve always wanted a community to talk horror with, and I hope this book club can be that for everyone!”
Madison (aka @literarymadmax on TikTok and Instagram) is our resident horror literature expert and book club leader! If it’s weird, unsettling, or makes you question your sanity she’s probably already read it. With recent favorites like When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy, Lamb by Lucy Rose, and Knock Knock, Open Wide by Neil Sharpson, just know you’re never leaving book club without a stack of killer recommendations.
