Stephen King Book & Movie Club In-Person

Join us for a spine-tingling journey into the mind of the master of horror, Stephen King! Our Stephen King Book and Movie Club is the perfect place for fans to come together and explore his chilling novels and their cinematic adaptations. Whether you love the books, the movies, or both, our Stephen King Book and Movie Club is the place to be. Come for the horror, stay for the camaraderie! We will meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Registration is appreciated.

This month’s title is Revival.

In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs—including Jamie's mother and beloved sister, Claire. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town.

Jamie has demons of his own. Wed to his guitar from the age of thirteen, he plays in bands across the country, living the nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll while fleeing from his family's horrific loss. In his mid-thirties—addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate—Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil's devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings.

Copies of the book are available for pickup at the circulation desk.
