The Story Behind the Creepy Book Club

What started as a casual Facebook group during the pandemic has grown into a thriving online community, complete with sold-out retreats, book boxes, author chats, and even a true crime podcast.

Ashley and Emily, co-founders of The Creepy Book Club, share how a single thriller reignited their love of reading and sparked the idea for the club. 

We talk about building a business from scratch, staying connected to the fun, and the behind-the-scenes work it takes to grow a bookish brand that truly puts community first.

You’ll hear:

• How they went from five people on Zoom to 250+ retreat attendees
• What it’s really like planning and running events for book lovers
• Why true crime became part of the mix (even when it’s a little scary)
• How their friendship fuels the business and keeps things fun
• Tips for anyone dreaming of starting a book-related business

This is for you if you’re a fan of thrillers, a book club regular, curious how a hobby turns into a heartfelt business, or just want some creepy book recommendations.
