It’s much too warm for those fantasy clubs of yore, the ones with the real dragons breathing fire and the requirements to joust with your neighbour for the last copy of your new favourite novel. So we’re proposing ditching the old and taking some time out and ducking into an air-conditioned paradise this coming Tuesday, July 31, with a trip to see Micah Yongo the Super Relaxed Fantasy Club.
Micah – who will be joined
Oi! Listen up, dwellers of Manchester (or the Greater Manchester area). This Friday Micah Yongo will be launching his debut novel, Lost Gods, in your fair city!
