A Night Inside The Library at Hellebore with Cassandra Khaw
Step inside the story—if you dare.
To celebrate the wicked brilliance of The Library at Hellebore by Cassandra Khaw, Reading Rhythms is hosting an immersive, one-night-only reading party that channels the novel’s deliciously dark academia energy. And, Cassandra will be there!
This isn’t your average book club, it's a reading party. Think: literary salon meets secret society. Held in an atmospheric venue, readers will gather to reflect, listen, and survive—together—through an experience steeped in power, peril, and the strange magic of connection.
📖 About the Book:
From USA Today bestselling author Cassandra Khaw comes a deeply diabolical dark academia tale for fans of A Deadly Education and An Education in Malice.
Welcome to the Hellebore Technical Institute for the Gifted, where the dangerously powerful—Anti-Christs, Ragnaroks, world-enders—are promised redemption and a normal life after graduation.
At least, that’s what Alessa Li is told after she’s kidnapped and forcibly enrolled. But the school hides a monstrous secret: on graduation day, the faculty feast on their students.
When the bloodbath begins, Alessa and her classmates are trapped in the school’s vast, shadowed library—and they must do something they were never taught: trust each other. Work together. Survive.
If they don’t, this school will eat them alive.
