Join us for San Diego Central Library's Fantastical Fiction Forum, where we discuss fantasy, horror, and science fiction in a friendly, inclusive group! Our July discussion book is “Embassytown,” by China Miéville. Our next meeting is on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. This hybrid program allows for virtual and in-person attendance. If you plan to attend in-person, we will meet in the Sullivan Library Commission Room on the 9th floor of the library. If you plan to attend virtually, you will receive a zoom link with your confirmation email when you register. (There is a Padres home game the same evening, so free parking will not be available at the library - the Central Library's parking is devoted to the Padres games during home games, so you may want to use public transportation or consider attending virtually via Zoom.)
