Saucer Full of Stories: The Short Story Book Club
Welcome, fellow travelers of the bizarre, the macabre, and the straight-up strange. This is Saucer Full of Stories, where every other Thursday, we set aside our tedious mortal concerns to dive headlong into tales of horror, pulp, sci-fi, and general weirdness. Think of it as a literary seance with more caffeine.
Here’s how it works: We read. We gather. We discuss. Maybe we question the nature of existence, or maybe we just get spooked by haunted jars and unhinged old men.
Our reading list? An eclectic mix of the unsettling and the uncanny. We’ve got everything from eldritch horrors to existential dystopias, from ghostly Christmas games to… well, whatever that was in Harlan Ellison’s head. If it’s short, surreal, and makes you double-check the locks at night, it’s probably in our rotation.
