About us
Started in October 2009 mainly as a discussion group for science fiction and fantasy topics, this group has grown rather large and diverse over time!
We run a variety of different events. Our main events are:
* A semi-regular social catch-up where members can catch up to talk all sci-fi/fantasy, gaming, book, tv, movie related topics
* Book Review Group - read one (or more) of the nominated science fiction, fantasy or urban fantasy novels. Meets every 2 months.
* Paranormal book club and culture - read one (or more) of the lighter and fluffier supernatural and romance influenced books selected, followed by a culture activity. Meets every 2 months.
* Horror book club - includes the option to read a classic or a contemporary horror book, or to watch a horror movie that is nominated and discussed by the group. Meets every 2 months.
* A variety of movie meet-ups from art-house, classic or latest block buster movies that have come out.
Apart from this, we have also had boardgame days, gone to plays, had comic book days, organised groups to go to Supanova and other 'cons' as they occur.
Please note that if you're new to the group, you are welcome to attend any meet-up. If you have RSVP'd to a meet-up, but you are no longer able to attend, please change your RSVP to a NO.
Members can also make suggestions for meet-ups that they would like to go via one of our group pages.
* Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/14b2NWiHdg1/
* Discord channel: https://discord.gg/qKzSpxt
First stop should be to read the guidelines and then enjoy discussing all sort of interesting topics.
We want to keep this page current and relevant for all members. If you haven't visited the Meet-up page in over a year, we may delete you from our group. However, you are most welcome to rejoin if something interests you.
I hope you can join us at an activity sometime soon!

Paranormal Romance Book Club and Culture
Market Lane Coffee - Queen Victoria Market, 83-85 Victoria St, Melbourne, VI, AUHi all,
Welcome to the October Paranormal Book Club!!
If you love books that are lighter and fluffier to read, with supernatural elements (magic, vampires, werewolves, etc.) then you will enjoy this group. After book club we head off and become a tourist in our own city, by attending an exhibition or some other cultural activity.
For October, we are going to meet at Market Lane Coffee at Queen Vic Market, where we will buy food/coffee and then go find somewhere to chat about books. After book club we will go for a walk around Queen Vic, find any second hand books we need, more food, and other interesting stalls to look at... or we might just stay seated and chat for a while!
The books for Sunday 11 October 2026 are:
Zucchini Cake & Zombies by RaShelle Workman
Zucchini Cake and Zombies (Broomstick Bay #1) by RaShelle Workman | GoodreadsThe Wolf King by Lauren Palyphreyman
