Bath Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Horror Reading Group

Welcome to Ghouls, Goblins and Aliens, our Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror reading group. Your host, Roxane, will guide you through what’s great, what’s new, and what’s completely underrated, every month until the end of the world (mwhahaha, etc. etc). June's choice is The Devils by Joe Abercrombie! An action-packed, witty alternate historical fantasy with plenty of bite, from a master of the fantasy genre and author of the The First Law series.

EUROPE STARES INTO THE ABYSS...

Plague and famine stalk the land, greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions, and an ancient evil lurks beyond the edges of the map.

When only dark paths lead towards the light - paths the righteous dare not tread - the Chapel of the Holy Expediency steps forward. Its congregation of cursed monsters and convicted heretics will cross every line, commit every sin, and turn every mission into a disastrous bloodbath in the service of the greater good.

Now the hapless Brother Diaz must somehow bind the worst of the worst to a higher cause: to put a thief on the throne of Troy, and unite the sundered church against the coming apocalypse.

WHEN YOU'RE HEADED THROUGH HELL, YOU NEED THE DEVILS ON YOUR SIDE.
