Book a Break: Haunted Reading Retreat – Provincetown, MA

Join us this October as we return to vibrant Provincetown for a fall retreat steeped in eerie charm, coastal fog, and stories that linger long after dark. The Haunted Edition is all about the tales that chill, thrill, and keep you turning pages long past bedtime—paired with crisp ocean air, candlelit corners, and just a touch of the uncanny.

A Cozy-but-Creepy Coastal Escape

Tucked at the tip of Cape Cod, Provincetown offers the perfect moody setting for a fall reading retreat. Think windswept dunes, drifting fog, and quiet oceanfront porches that feel made for a good ghost story. Whether you’re curled up by your room’s fireplace or reading outdoors with the waves echoing below, the atmosphere practically begs for spooky books and shared chills.

Theme of the Retreat: The Haunted Edition

This October, we’re leaning all the way into haunted-season vibes: shadowy mysteries, ghostly tales, folklore-filled fantasies, and atmospheric reads that set your spine tingling. Our curated book stack embraces all things eerie, magical, and deliciously unsettling.

We’ll also host a hauntingly memorable author chat (guest TBD), plus a lineup of seasonal activities—from eerie crafts to local wanderings that highlight Provincetown’s charm. Expect favorite Ptown staples, new discoveries, and maybe even a rooftop dinner if the autumn winds behave.

If you’re craving a retreat that blends cozy comfort with a bookish sense of mystery, this Haunted Edition was made for you. Come read, connect, unwind, and welcome the whispery magic of October on the coast.
