DESCRIPTION:Screenshot\n\n\n\nCome join the discussion – wine and apps are free and as always our clubs are free and open to all\, PLUS the book club picks are offered at the 10% off book club discount. \n\n\n\nThis month we’re chatting about: Lightfall by Ed Crocker$30.00 Book club price: $27.00 Hardcover\, 384 ppStep into the dark and enthralling debut fantasy\, perfect for fans of Jay Kristoff’s Empire of the Vampire and Richard Swan’s The Justice of Kings. With its intoxicating mix of vampires\, werewolves\, sorcerers\, and rebellion\, this epic tale delivers a story brimming with intrigue\, danger\, and defiance. \n\n\n\nIn the last vampire stronghold of First Light\, survival is dictated by blood and class. The privileged drink richly while the poor endure meager scraps\, and no one escapes the city’s suffocating rules. But when palace maid Sam discovers a clue to the murder of the ruler’s son\, she seizes the chance to upend the hierarchy. Her blackmail attempt thrusts her into the shadowy underworld of the Leeches—a band of rebel maids fighting to balance the scales of power. \n\n\n\nAs Sam allies with a shrewd sorcerer\, a fierce werewolf assassin\, and a cunning countess\, she uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the fragile survival of First Light. With the city’s elite pulling deadly strings and the Grays—monsters that nearly annihilated vampirekind—still looming in memory\, Sam must navigate treachery on all sides. \n\n\n\nAtmospheric and teeming with tension\, Lightfall is a tale of grit\, wit\, and the pursuit of freedom against impossible odds. Ed Crocker’s complex characters and twisting plot will spark animated discussions about power\, rebellion\, and what it takes to fight for a better world. Join us as we delve into this unforgettable fantasy and debate whether Sam can uncover the truth—and survive long enough to change her fate.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Signing: Meet Wes Browne\, Grab They All Fall the Same!
DESCRIPTION:Screenshot\n\n\n\nJoin Wes Browne at Main Street Reads during Summerville’s Third Thursday celebration on Thursday\, May 15th\, for a special signing of They All Fall the Same.

Wes Browne takes you on a walk through the Kentucky hills and down dusty back roads where justice\, revenge and regret are uneasy allies.” — S.A. Cosby\, NYT bestselling author of ​All the Sinners Bleed  \n\n\n\nAbout the Book:\n\n\n\nThey All Fall the Same\n\n\n\nWes Browne crafts a gritty\, emotionally complex thriller set in the underbelly of rural Kentucky’s cannabis trade. At the center is Burl Spoon\, a longtime crime boss whose empire\, built on green profits and hard fists\, begins to unravel when a personal tragedy collides with a deadly business rivalry. \n\n\n\nBrowne’s prose is lean but layered\, laced with the urgency of noir classics and the raw familial drama fans of S.A. Cosby and Eli Cranor will relish. As Burl’s daughter falls victim to fentanyl-laced heroin and a trusted associate turns up dead\, his thirst for revenge pits him against a rival drug clan\, setting in motion a dangerous game with devastating stakes. \n\n\n\nBeyond the satisfying tale of vengeance\, this novel a meditation on the weight of legacy\, fractured love\, and a man clinging to his last chance at redemption through the eyes of his six-year-old granddaughter\, Chelsea. Browne paints his characters with brutal honesty and a surprising tenderness that lingers long after the final page.

SUMMARY:Book Signing and Salon: Hellions with Julia Elliott
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled to host a very special event with author Julia Elliott\, celebrating her powerful story collection\, Hellions. Readers will have the opportunity to remain for a salon-style private event to dig deeper into the themes of Julia’s work: \n\n\n\nTHE EVENTJoin us at Main Street Reads for a free\, open-to-all book signing where you can meet Lisa and grab a signed copy of Hellions — an incredible\, razor-sharp collection of heartfelt stories with southern gothic grit. We’ll ALSO have her other books available\, The Wilds short story collection and her novel\, The New and Improved Romie Futch. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThen\, beginning at 4:00 p.m.\, we’ll transition into an exclusive salon-style discussion with Julia\, complete with wine\, charcuterie\, and thoughtful conversation.  \n\n\n\nBonus: The salon will of course include charcuterie and wine\, AND a signed copy of Hellions\, as well as 10% off Julia’s other works. \n\n\n\nWe can’t wait to see you there and join in this unforgettable afternoon of conversation\, and connection as we delve deeper into the wisdom and the wit. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book:Hellions: Stories is a visceral collection of stories that run feral through the backwoods of the American South. Known for her genre-defying blend of speculative strangeness and Southern grit\, Elliott’s writing is razor-sharp and yet somehow still magical. \n\n\n\nThe collection opens with a plague-stricken convent and closes in the swamps of South Carolina\, stopping along the way to introduce us to alligator companions\, mystic manuscripts\, and sharp-tongued girls navigating a world that rarely makes room for their rage or radiance. \n\n\n\nHellions never loses its grounding in the truths of its characters. There’s real tenderness here\, woven among the ruin and wonder. Elliott’s prose slices straight to the bone\, but what she reveals is always human: vulnerability\, desire\, grief\, and grit. \n\n\n\nUltimately\, these stories give voice to those living in the margins—outsiders\, women\, children\, the dispossessed. You’ll love being immersed in the author’s weird worlds\, and will be left with much to ponder… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto Credit: Forrest Clonts\n\n\n\nJulia Elliott is the author of the story collection The Wilds\, a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice\, and the novel The New and Improved Romie Futch (both from Tin House).

SUMMARY:May Books & Banter Fiction Book Club: The Antidote by Karen Russell
DESCRIPTION:As always\, our book clubs are free and open to all\, and the book club pick is 10% off the regular price. You bring the conversation\, we’ll provide the treats! \n\n\n\nThis month’s pick is The Antidote by Karen Russell$30.00 Book club price: $27.00 Hardcover\, 432 pp \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaren Russell’s The Antidote is a stunning exploration of a town haunted by its past and battered by a catastrophic dust storm\, a story Swampliania author laughingly calls\, “Dry-Landia.” \n\n\n\nSet in the fictional town of Uz\, Nebraska\, during the Great Depression\, this Dust Bowl epic weaves together the lives of five unforgettable characters: a Prairie Witch who safeguards memories\, a Polish farmer grappling with loss\, his grieving niece\, a sentient scarecrow\, and a photographer with a mysterious\, time-bending camera. \n\n\n\nThrough their interconnected stories\, Russell examines the ways in which history\, secrets\, and the environment shape lives. Rich with symbolism and lyrical prose\, the novel echoes the urgency of our current climate crisis while delving into universal themes of memory\, identity\, and resilience. \n\n\n\nPerfect for fans of Swamplandia! and Grapes of Wrath\, The Antidote offers a deeply atmospheric and thought-provoking read. Book clubs will revel in the layered storytelling\, the blend of magical realism and historical fiction\, and the pressing questions it raises about the choices we make for ourselves and our world.
