Join us for another Halloween Reading Salon with this Sat 25th Oct 7pm

Whilst any minute on the internet feels cut from a horror movie, we throw back to old-school spooky: thrillers, gore, witches and dystopian fiction. Join us for a Halloween special Dinner Party Press salon with artists: Ali Alizadeh, Demet Divaroren, Emma Quilty and the ghost of Sinead Stubbins.

Your host for this evening will be Emily Westmoreland

Bookclub: August 2025
Theme: Middle Eastern Authors
~Books~
Against the Loveless World by Susan Abulhawa.."a sweeping and lyrical novel that follows a young Palestinian refugee as she slowly becomes radicalised while searching for a better life for her family throughout the Middle East."

Disoriental by Negar Djavadi.."A stylistically fragmented novel that captures the kaleidoscopic nature of a young woman's life, spanning from her upbringing in Iran to her future in France. Interwoven with the richness of her familial and cultural background, this novel is a decadent and heartbreaking piece of political fiction."

Notice: our book club is full for the year, and unfortunately we do not have a wait list.

Our community of book lovers meet each month here in Melbourne to celebrate and dicuss wonderful stories, spotlighting marginalised voices in our choice of books.
