Details
* Location subject to change depending upon how hot it is.*
This is a Short Story "Book" Club that focuses on sci fi/fantasy and horror short stories or novelettes. This month we
are reading "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
This is a novella - @ 120 pages. If you haven't read this, this novella is one of his lesser known works but it is so interesting how the events unfold and there is a lot to unpack for discussion! This is a slight departure from horror/fantasy but is still related-ish.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, affectionately known as "Gabo," was one of the most important and influential authors of the 20th century, contributing profoundly to Latin American literature. His unique fusion of the fantastical and the ordinary, termed "magical realism," has been both widely praised and emulated.
García Márquez's most famous novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, published in 1967, catapulted him into global fame and solidified his place as one of the leading figures of the Latin American Boom, a literary movement that brought the region's literature to worldwide prominence.
