"Books That Go Bump in the Night" - Seasonal Halloween Theme with Harlem Book Co. Book Fair! Reading Rhythms Upper West Side: October 19th

You’re invited! If you're itching for some frights and fiction, some chills and thrillers, or maybe even a little true crime nonfiction... tonight is the night for you!
