They are a community bookseller, who also host events at their shop in Turnpike Lane, plenty of which are of a genre fiction or geeky character. The opposite of a corporate goliath, they are an excellent place for ordering books to collect at our event. Find them at allgoodbookshop.co.uk
Super Relaxed Fantasy Club is a London-based fantasy, sci-fi, horror, folk story and speculative fiction book event. Each month we host two or three authors for readings, chat and Q&A.
