Join Dublin, NH author, Walt Schnabel for a talk about and signing of his supernatural thriller, Blood Club. A quaint New England town has a secret that hides behind the white clapboard houses and tall church steeple. The secret is as deep and dark as the lake that has attracted visitors for two centuries. Brian Barrett followed his wife Sarah and young son there to repair their shattered marriage and escape his romance with the bottle. One early spring morning, Barrett gazes through the rear window onto the school grounds which border his property. His attention is drawn to an aberrant ritual about to unfold on the play set. Barrett intervenes but soon realizes that this event is merely the opening volley of a battle he must wage with an ancient and unlikely evil that seeks to consume his family.
