This month is also our annual potluck event - stay tuned for an official announcement in our Facebook group where you can share what you're bringing!
About the book:
The Kamogawa Food Detectives is the first book in the bestselling, mouth-watering Japanese series, for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
What’s the one dish you’d do anything to taste just one more time?
Down a quiet backstreet in Kyoto exists a very special restaurant. Run by Koishi Kamogawa and her father Nagare, the Kamogawa Diner serves up deliciously extravagant meals. But that’s not the main reason customers stop by...
The father-daughter duo are ‘food detectives’. Through ingenious investigations, they are able to recreate dishes from a person’s treasured memories – dishes that may well hold the keys to their forgotten past and future happiness. The restaurant of lost recipes provides a link to vanished moments, creating a present full of possibility.
A bestseller in Japan, The Kamogawa Food Detectives is a celebration of good company and the power of a delicious meal.

Pitch-a-Book Night
Pitch a book you loved, hear ones you'd never pick up, and meet Denver readers who are just as passionate about books as you are.
Come for the books. Stay for the people.
You know that feeling when you finish a book so good you want to grab a stranger off the street and make them read it? That's this whole night.
Pitch-A-Book Night is a Denver meetup for readers who want to talk about books, really talk about them, with people who are just as obsessed with the plot as you are. Attendees take turns pitching a book they loved: what it's about, why it wrecked them in the best way, why everyone needs to read it. No spoilers. Just pure, unfiltered enthusiasm.
What to expect:
No assigned reading: Come with whatever book has been living in your head rent-free.
No silent reading circles: This is conversation, debate, and real connection.
No dumping ground: Every pitch is a book someone genuinely loved, not one they're trying to offload.
Direct access to the people behind the recommendations: Ask questions, swap opinions, geek out, exchange numbers and make a book buddy for life.
Add to your physical TBR pile: Slowpoke Books will be popping up with a selection of books and bookish wares to browse and buy.
How the night works:
5:00–5:30pm - Doors Open
5:30–6:30pm - Pitch Hour: Attendees who want to pitch get up to 2 minutes to sell the room on a book they loved. Pitching is strongly encouraged but not required — come listen if that's more your speed.
6:30–8:00pm - Open Discussion: The floor opens up for smaller, casual conversations. Chat 1:1 or in small groups with fellow readers about what they're reading, what they've loved, and dig deeper into any pitches that caught your ear.
What to bring:
The book you're pitching, if you have a copy (not required to pitch, just a nice touch if you've got it)
The details:
Fiction Beer Company, 101 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80220

One night. One local brewery. A whole lot of great books waiting to be discovered.
Horror Book Club
Don't you just get a hankering sometimes...for eyes? This month, we're reading The Eyes are the Best Part by Monika Kim!
About the book:
Crying in H-Mart meets My Sister, the Serial Killer in this feminist psychological horror about the making of a female serial killer from a Korean-American perspective.
Ji-won’s life tumbles into disarray in the wake of her Appa’s extramarital affair and subsequent departure. Her mother, distraught. Her younger sister, hurt and confused. Her college freshman grades, failing. Her dreams, horrifying . . . yet enticing.
In them, Ji-won walks through bloody rooms full of eyes. Succulent blue eyes. Salivatingly blue eyes. Eyes the same shape and shade as George’s, who is Umma’s obnoxious new boyfriend. George has already overstayed his welcome in her family’s claustrophobic apartment. He brags about his puffed-up consulting job, ogles Asian waitresses while dining out, and acts condescending toward Ji-won and her sister as if he deserves all of Umma’s fawning adoration. No, George doesn’t deserve anything from her family. Ji-won will make sure of that.
For no matter how many victims accumulate around her campus or how many people she must deceive and manipulate, Ji-won’s hunger and her rage deserve to be sated.
A brilliantly inventive, subversive novel about a young woman unraveling, Monika Kim’s The Eyes Are the Best Part is a story of a family falling apart and trying to find their way back to each other, marking a bold new voice in horror that will leave readers mesmerized and craving more.

Unfortunately for Darcy, there’s a complication in her plan. Guardian Angel Gabriel Aetos doesn’t tolerate threats to his little corner of the world, and a Grim Reaper showing up at his bar is as deadly as it gets. But when he realizes Darcy is not as she seems, Gabriel must decide if he can trust his growing feelings or hold on to his long-standing grudge.
But magic doesn’t come without consequences. And the Department of Hauntings & Spirits will eventually come calling for their missing Reaper.
A spooky yet simmering enemies-to-lovers tale to keep you warm this fall.
Tropes:

Smutty Book Club
What if a work of fiction wasn't so...fictional? In our November pick, A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston, Elsy suddenly finds herself in the town from her favorite romance series. We'll find out what happens and discuss on Monday, November 2nd at 7pm!
As always, Spicy Librarian is our recommended bookstore to grab your copy.

About the Book:
Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don’t leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why she’s so set on going her annual book club retreat this year—she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures—no matter what.
But when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like it’s right out of a novel . . .
Because it is.
This place can’t be real, and yet… she’s here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy store’s honey taffy is always sweet, the local bar’s burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It feels like home. It’s perfect—and perfectly frozen, trapped in the late author’s last unfinished story.
Elsy is sure that’s why she must be here: to help bring the town to its storybook ending.
Except there is a character in Eloraton that she can’t place—a grumpy bookstore owner with mint-green eyes, an irritatingly sexy mouth and impeccable taste in novels. And he does not want her finishing this book.
Which is a problem because Elsy is beginning to think the town’s happily-ever-after might just be intertwined with her own.

This year, spooky season calls for the start of a brand new book club at Fiction Beer Company - all for horror fans! The first pick is Wolf Worm by T Kingfisher, so buckle up for a chilling read and join us for our meeting on Monday, October 26th at 7pm.
About the book:
Something darker than the devil stalks the North Carolina woods in Wolf Worm, a gothic masterpiece from New York Times bestselling author T. Kingfisher.
"I saw the devil in these woods."
After her father's death, Sonia Wilson is without work, prospects, or hope. She is a talented scientific illustrator, but jobs are scarce for women in science in 1899.
So when the reclusive Dr. Halder offers her a position illustrating his vast collection of rare insects, Sonia jumps at the chance to move to his North Carolina manor house and put her talents to use.
Once there though, she encounters dark happenings in the Carolina woods, and even darker questions come to light, like: what happened to the illustrator who came before her? Why are animals acting so strangely? And what is behind the peculiar local whispers about "blood thiefs?"
With the aid of a healer, a housekeeper, and clues found in the journals of her mysterious predecessor, Sonia discovers that Halder's entomological studies have taken him down a twisted road. His ground-breaking experiments come with a cost-one that Halder is paying with human flesh.
If Sonia can't find a way to stop the monstrosity, she may be next under the knife.

Book Club
Spooky Season is upon us! And who better to tell tales of what creeps in the night than the Indigenous authors behind this month's pick, Never Whistle at Night, an anthology of dark fiction.
About the book:
Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home.
These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples’ survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon.

Trivia Night
Word on the street is the best trivia in Denver is at Fiction Beer Company - and our team of hosts-turned-owners would love to challenge your knowledge of obscure (and not-so-obscure) topics.
Each week, our regular trivia starts with a round on current events, includes a third round chosen by previous third-place winners, and finishes with a final Jeopardy-style round.
First and second-place winners get money off their next bar tab, while third-place winners get to choose a third-round topic for the next general trivia night.
Writers Group
We know many of you are readers, but this evening, we're looking for those of you who write. Whether you enjoy writing poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction, we'd love to welcome you into our taproom to workshop and share with peers.
Fiction Beer Company's Writers Group will meet on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 7pm. You'll have dedicated writing time, plus an opportunity to share your work with peers, get feedback, and be part of a collaborative group to help continue refining your writing skills.
