Past event
About This Event
Read in peace. Bring a book and join us for an hour of quiet reading at Graceland Cemetery, one of Chicago's most beautiful hidden gems.
Spend an hour reading at the historic Graceland Cemetery at 4001 N. Clark Street (Clark & Irving Park).
We're currently planning to meet at the Marshall Field Monument in Graceland Cemetery, which has plenty of space for picnic blankets and a couple of benches. Exact meeting spot will be confirmed closer to June 20.
Show up a little early to chat before we start reading.
11am - Noon — Reading!
Noon — feel free to stick around for a walk through the cemetery and some socializing.
Silent as the Grave is organized by the goth history nerds at Goblin Market.

Bring Your Own Manga Book Club
Bring whatever you've been reading, whether that's manga, light novels, manhwa, and more. We'll talk about what we've been into, swap recommendations, and just hang out. Come as you are :D Meets on the first Sunday of each month. This book club is presented by Chicago Anime Hangouts.
Silent Book Club: Solo RPGs & Choose-Your-Own-Adventure
Grab that solo RPG, journalling game, or Choose Your Own Adventure book you've been meaning to get around to actually playing (or pick up a new one at Goblin Market beforehand!) and meet us at Beermiscuous for a more social solo-gaming experience. We'll also bring a selection of games from our library with us for you to borrow. Like most silent book clubs, there will be time before and after to chat and mingle. Get there at 5:30 to say hi and get yourself a drink, then at 6 we'll have a dedicated hour of silent gaming.
Trans Occultist Meetup
This is a place for trans occultists of all traditions to share experiences and knowledge with one another. Pagans, witches, chaotes, Luciferians, esoteric Christans, Thelemites, African Diaspora practitioners, and everybody else. If you practice magick and consider yourself some sort of non-cisgender, you are welcome. You are also welcome if you are just questioning your gender, and if you are merely magickally curious. Do not worry about not being trans enough or magickal enough. First Thursday of each month, 7pm-10pm
