The Lost Church: Queer Magic: A Charmed Evening

These days, when malevolent threats seem endless and allies grow ever more elusive, wouldn’t it be splendid if queer folks could draw on their magic to defeat the forces of evil? Together with these talented authors, we’ll create a space where that just might be within reach. In Charlie Jane Anders’s Lessons in Magic and Disaster, a trans graduate student whose funding is in jeopardy harbors a secret spell-casting ability. In Michelle Tea’s road trip novel Little F, a queer runaway and his teenage witch best friend embark on a quest for the queer utopia of Provincetown, MA. And in Caitlin Starling’s The Starving Saints, three women—a nun-turned-sorceress, a knight, and a serving girl—reclaim their powers in the midst of a horrific fever dream. Guided by moderator Evette Davis, author of The Council Trilogy, let’s imagine our way into a new future of strength and power. Doors at 7:30pm. $20 / $3 early bird discount until October 12
