Bang-Up Book Club Gets Creepy with Spooky Jewelry and Prizes in October

BOOK CLUB CLUE AND CREEPY ANNOUNCEMENT: Bang-Up Book Club is getting spooky all month long in October with ghoulish prizes hidden inside creepy books at William F. Laman Public Library System’s main branch. Every week I’ll post a clue on the Bang-Up Betty Facebook page to find a hidden treasure inside one of my favorite hair-raising reads. This month each prize will be as ghastly as the book that contains it, so we hope you have a Halloween heart. Follow @bangupbetty on Instagram and Facebook for more haunting Halloween-themed fun during the month of October at our new gift shop in the Argenta neighborhood of North Little Rock or head to bangupbetty.com to shop for handmade jewelry, ghoulish gifts, local art and so much more.

We’re getting started early with Creepy Bang-Up Book Club RIGHT NOW with our first haunted hidden treasure. This author is best known for her 1959 novel about a haunted house that’s been adapted into two major movies, and recently a critically acclaimed Netflix series was (very) loosely based on it. I’m a big fan of this author’s short stories, especially one gruesome tale about a nightmarish lottery and another about a reclusive little girl, her family, and a mysterious poisoning. If you head to this author’s books on the shelves at Laman Library’s main branch, you might find a secret prize between the pages.
