The Book Club

A group of university students hold a Book Club, essentially as another excuse to eat takeaway food and drink copious amounts of booze on a Friday night, once a month. The latest ‘Book of the Month’ is titled ‘Geoffrey’ and they are highly critical as it failed to exploit the powerful relics highlighted in the book; a missed opportunity in their opinion. One of the students suggests that since they have all become such critical, literary experts, they should each write a short story to show how these relics could have been used in a more exciting and dramatic way. In the drunken debate that follows some simple rules are agreed; the most important being that each story should include the murder of one of their friends. When the stories are told, tensions begin to develop and ultimately one of the students is murdered in a way that had been written and predicted in one of the student’s stories. The book is filled with great story telling, fascinating and intriguing content, all with an undercurrent of malice! The reader is recommended (not compulsory!) to read the book 'Geoffrey' first to better understand the origins of the student's criticisms!
