...blood!

Or so would have been my introduction to this post had our original selection, The Greyfriar, (Vampire Empire Book 1) by Clay and Susan Griffith,* remained April's selection. However, circumstances arose which led us to shift it to the May 19th meeting. Into the gap created by the move is A.E. van Vogt 's Slan , a classic of the genre from 1946.

We're growing and changing, looking for ways to expand our activities. Check the links above. I shuffled the header around to add buttons for a Facebook page and to our Goodreads group. Already there's been a little uptick in hits on the site. Look to add April and May listings to Birmingham365 , successor to activeculture.org, tomorrow.

One note of SF/F news: Nicholas Courtney, best know for his role as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart on Doctor Who, died today. Short of one of the actors who portrayed the Doctor himself, it difficult to imagine a more important loss from the Who acting family. Condolences to his family and fans.

*My apologies to Clay Griffith. Here, on the main page and on the Library page, I mistakenly wrote "Clark" instead of "Clay" as his name. That was damn sloppy and again I apologize for the error.
