Visit us at local wineries and breweries to discuss sci-fi, fantasy, and horror books each month! This month we'll be at Faust Brewing Company.September's Pick is Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis A sharp-witted, high fantasy farce featuring killer moat squid, toxic masculinity, evil wizards and a garlic festival - all at once. Perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, K. J. Parker and Travis Baldree.It’s bad enough waking up in a half-destroyed evil wizard’s workshop with no eyebrows, no memories, and no idea how long you have before the Dread Lord Whomever shows up to murder you horribly and then turn your skull into a goblet or something.It’s a lot worse when you realize that Dread Lord Whomever is… you.Gav isn’t really sure how he ended up with a castle full of goblins, or why he has a princess locked in a cell. All he can do is play along with his own evil plan in hopes of getting his memories back before he gets himself killed.But as he realizes that nothing – from the incredibly tasteless cloak adorned with flames to the aforementioned princess – is quite what it seems, Gav must face up to all the things the Dread Lord Gavrax has done. And he’ll have to answer the hardest question of all – who does he want to be?Dread Lord Gavrax has had better weeks.January 16: The Clockmaker's Daugher by Kate MortonFebruary 20: Fireborne by Rosaria MundaMarch 20: God of Neverland by Gamma Ray MartinezApril 17: The Spellshop by Sarabeth DurstMay 15: A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky ChambersJune 26: The Pallbearer's Club by Paul Tremblay July 17: Vampires of El Norte by Isabel CanasAugust 21: The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden September 18: Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis October 16: Tales from the Hinterlands by Melissa AlbertNovember 20: Nettle & Bone by T.
