Centre for Stories
The SFF (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Speculative Fiction) Collective is a group that meets regularly to discuss topics relating to SFF books and share book recommendations across the genre.
How do pandemics function in imagined worlds? How do alternate worlds conceive of and respond to disease? In this edition of the SFF Collective, Prema Arasu talks about plagues in fantasy and the history of plague writing.
Although this is a free event, RSVP is essential.
