LGBT+ Book Club

Come discuss queer books, have a (non-alcoholic) drink, and make new friends! Together with Utrecht LGBT+, ACU facilitates a bimonthly book club. Specifically, we’re reading stuff by queer authors about queer things. Check out the event page on ACU.nl (https://acu.nl/events/20241006/lgbt-book-club-haunting-of-hill-house) and RSVP via MeetUp (https://www.meetup.com/utrecht-lgbt/events/302900598/)!

October’s book, written by Shirley Jackson, is a gothic horror classic with queer undertones.

Dr. Montague, an occult scholar, and his team — Theodora, his assistant; Eleanor, a fragile young woman with a close acquaintance with the paranormal; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House — conduct an unusual research project in a reputedly haunted house.

Everyone is welcome who has read the book (or DNF, and is okay with spoilers) by the time of the meetup. Meetings take place at ACU, a queer-friendly political-cultural centrum which resides in the city center.

Please update your RSVP if you find out you cannot attend. Hope to see you there!

After book club, as every Sunday evening, The Barricade will prepare a free meal that can be enjoyed in the ACU bar. Perfectly ripe and beautiful vegetables and fruits are coming from the dumpsters of Utrecht. Donations will be used for the kitchen or other political goals.
