* KGB Fantastic Fiction is a monthly reading series held on the third Wednesday of every month at the famous KGB Bar in Manhattan. The reading series features luminaries and up-and-comers in speculative fiction. Admission is always free. I love reading at KGB - and more importantly, I love attending the monthly readings there. I get turned on to lots of great talent, and I love the cameraderie of people listening to and talking about specfic.
