ALN Monthly Book Club: Forging Hephaestus (Old Town)

For our August Monthly Book Club, we will be reading Drew Hayes's "Forging Hephaestus!"

We will be hosting this event IN PERSON, outdoors, at Presidio Park in Old Town! Attendees must be vaccinated; vaccination cards WILL be checked. In addition, we recommend (but do not require) that attendees wear masks and maintain social distance.

We typically meet at the picnic tables in the shade at the end of the loop made by Cosoy Way. Please see the embedded map below for more details.

Content warning: Violence, death. Details not given here to avoid spoilers. Contact an organizer if you have concerns about the book's content.

Tori Rivas gets inducted into a society of super villains as a mentee to a legendary super villain, learning and growing in her "villain" persona while balancing her civilian identity. However, the relationships between villains and superheroes are never simple, and the lines between good and evil are blurred.

We hope to see you there!
