Get Lit: The Case of the Book Club Butcher

There has been a murder! And we need your help to catch the serial killer!

There’s been a murder! And we need your help to solve it!

Famed serial killer The Book Club Butcher has hit again and the police need your help to figure out the identity of this notorious killer.

Work solo or team up with fellow sleuths to decipher clues, navigate surprising twists, and piece together the truth behind this series of murders while you’re enjoying the night’s specialty cocktail, The Killer, a twist on the classic martini. Beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks are also available.

Plus, meet with our friend from Bucket O’ Blood Books and Records, a Chicago store highlighting sci-fi, fantasy, & horror, plus indie rock, punk & metal records.

This is 21+ event. Attendees must show a valid photo ID at the door to enter.
