About this Event

Parking spots #6 & #41-44 in the parking lot are for bookstore customers.

If you order the book through our storefront on BookShop.org, show us your receipt, and you'll get 10% of that purchase back in store credit to spend at TCB! (But no pressure - libraries are also time-honored partners to book clubs. We love our libraries!)

ABOUT THE BOOK: A cylinder from space lands in south-west London, and naïve locals approach it armed with a white flag - only to be instantly incinerated by an all-destroying heat-ray, as tentacled Martians emerge. Soon the whole of humanity is under threat, as the invaders build gigantic killing machines that chase and feast on human prey. The first modern tale of alien invasion, H.G. Wells's The War of the Worlds remains one of the most influential science fiction novels ever published.
