Horror Book Club: Maeve Fly

  • Solid State Books 600 H Street Northeast Washington, DC, 20002 United States (map)

Join us for Horror Book Club where we’ll discuss Maeve Fly by C.J. Leede with host Philippe Nassir. This book club meets monthly on the 3rd Wednesday.

A provocative and unforgettable debut that is both a blood-soaked love letter to Los Angeles and a gleeful send-up of iconic horror villains.

By day, Maeve Fly works at the happiest place in the world as every child’s favorite ice princess.

By the neon night glow of the Sunset Strip, Maeve haunts the dive bars with a drink in one hand and a book in the other, imitating her misanthropic literary heroes.

But when Gideon Green - her best friend’s brother - moves to town, he awakens something dangerous within her, and the world she knows suddenly shifts beneath her feet.

Untethered, Maeve ditches her discontented act and tries on a new persona. A bolder, bloodier one, inspired by the pages of American Psycho. Step aside Patrick Bateman, it’s Maeve’s turn with the knife.
