About this event

One of the most expansive sections on our shelves is “Speculative Fiction” — and it also raises the most questions from visiting readers. Speculative Fiction includes literary work that explores what could be. Sci Fi, Horror, Fantasy… anything that invites readers to step outside of everyday reality, often exploring themes that hit on (and even anticipate) the pulse of society. Join Rose, the newest Time and half Bookseller, as we discuss their first selection, Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. This criminally under-read classic tells the tale of a young woman’s seduction by a female vampire, and would go on to inspire Bram Stoker to write Dracula nearly a quarter century later.The perfect way to get ready for the impending spooky season.
