Join a book club that is reading Sundial!

Escondido Books and Beer Club

Do you enjoy reading and drinking beer? This is a monthly book club for anyone 21+ that would enjoy getting together and discussing a novel while drinking a tasty pint. You don't have to drink beer or alcohol at all to attend meetings but the meetings are hosted at breweries and brew pubs. We read a variety of genres and vote on book selections. I pick the books for April (the anniversary month of the club), and in October we read the One Book San Diego selection. 

Sundial

"DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK. Authentically terrifying." --Stephen King

WINNER of Best Hardcover Novel at the ITW Thriller Awards! - Finalist for the Bram Stoker and Locus Awards - LibraryReads Top 10 Pick - A GoodReads Choice Award Finalist for Best Horror!

Sharp as a snakebite, Sundial is a gripping novel about the secrets we bury from the ones we love most, from Catriona Ward, the author of The Last House on Needless Street.

Rob has spent her life running from Sundial, the family's ranch deep in the Mojave Desert, and her childhood memories.

But she's worried about her daughter, Callie, who collects animal bones and whispers to imaginary friends. It reminds her of a darkness that runs in her family, and Rob knows it's time to return.

Callie is terrified of her mother. Rob digs holes in the backyard late at night, and tells disturbing stories about growing up on the ranch. Soon Callie begins to fear that only one of them will leave Sundial alive...

"This book will haunt you."--Alex Michaelides, New York Times bestselling author

"An unthinkable feat." --The New York Times Book Review

If the whole book went at the pace of the beginning, then it would be a solid 3 star. Push through and get to that late middle and ending, it's worth it!

Catriona Ward does an amazing job of writing thrillers that keep you on your toes. I had no idea what was happening, who to trust, how it was going to end, and I loved it! Sundial is a sci-fi, horror, thriller with so much going on I really recommend going in with as little knowledge as possible so you can enjoy the twists and turns. Big warning on animal cruelty though, there are a lot of dogs and animals being mistreated in this one and that is...read more
