Camp Fire Tales Club: The Ballad of Black Tom


Wednesday, August 17, 2022, 6:30 PM.

Join us in the library’s garden this summer for an evening discussion of science fiction, fantasy, and horror novellas. This month we’ll discuss The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle.

Charles Thomas Tester hustles to put food on the table, keep the roof over his father’s head, from Harlem to Flushing Meadows to Red Hook. He knows what magic a suit can cast, the invisibility a guitar case can provide, and the curse written on his skin that attracts the eye of wealthy white folks and their cops. But when he delivers an occult tome to a reclusive sorceress in the heart of Queens, Tom opens a door to a deeper realm of magic, and earns the attention of things best left sleeping.

The first six registrants will receive a copy of the book that’s yours to keep!
