If you plan to bring a side dish or dessert to complement the KaCSFFS-furnished turkey and gravy, please contact Diana Bailey so she can coordinate. Bring your own drinks, if you have something particular in mind.

After-Dinner Reading by John Tibbetts
A special treat awaits us after dinner, when the noted local film critic, writer, interviewer, and KU professor of film, John Tibbetts, presents a reading from his new book, The Gothic Imagination: Conversations on Fantasy, Horror and Science Fiction in the Media.
This book was only published last month. It includes an interview with KaCSFFS friend and Honorary Member Wilson Tucker.
Tibbetts is a charming and entertaining speaker. We think you will enjoy his presentation!
