About Fire and Fables - Speculative Fiction Book Club

Hello! Fire and Fables is intended to be a relaxed space for adults to discuss fantasy and science fiction. All subgenres are welcome! You never know when you're going to find a new subgenre or author to love. The goal is to chat about what we do and don't find effective about the book of the moment. Books/series I have read and loved include:


  • Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
  • Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
  • The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin
  • The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
  • Dune by Frank Herbert
  • The Golem and the Jinni by Helen Wecker
  • The Lightbringer Series by Brent Weeks
  • Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
  • Circe by Madeline Miller
  • The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin


The club will meet in-person once every six weeks.
