About us
A book club for people who don’t just want to read strange worlds—they want to make them.
We read speculative fiction across fantasy, science fiction, horror, magical realism, dystopian fiction, and everything in between, using the books we read to talk about how stories actually work: worldbuilding, character, structure, voice, pacing, tropes, romance, magic systems, genre conventions, and the choices writers make on the page.
But we’re also a writing group.
Members can share work, give and receive thoughtful feedback, workshop ideas and troublesome chapters, and connect with peer writing buddies for encouragement and accountability between meetings.
You don’t need to be published. You don’t need an MFA. You don’t even need to have a finished draft. You just need to love speculative fiction and be interested in becoming a better reader, writer, or both.
Come read. Come write. Come make something strange.

Book Club: Fourth Wing
Cosmic Saltillo, 1300 E 4th St, Austin, TX 78702, USA, Austin, TX, USWelcome to Basgiath War College, where becoming a dragon rider is as dangerous as the war waiting beyond its walls. Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing follows Violet Sorrengail as she’s forced into the brutal Riders Quadrant, where survival means outthinking her classmates, bonding with a dragon, and navigating an increasingly complicated alliance with the formidable Xaden Riorson.
Read the book beforehand and come ready to talk dragons, romance, rivalries, worldbuilding, character arcs, and the storytelling choices that made Fourth Wing a phenomenon. We’ll discuss it both as readers and as writers—what worked, what didn’t, and what we can learn from it for our own stories.
