E.T.(1982) - celebrate the 25th Anniversary of E.T..While visiting the Earth at Night, a group of alien
botanists is discovered and disturbed by an approaching human task force. Because of the more
than hasty take-off, one of the visitors is left behind. The little alien finds himself all alone on a very
strange planet. Fortunately, the extra-terrestrial soon finds a friend and emotional companion in
10-year-old Elliot, who discovered him looking for food in his family's garden shed. While E.T.
slowly gets acquainted with Elliot's brother Michael, his sister Gertie as well as with Earth
customs, members of the task force work day and night to track down the whereabouts of Earth's
first visitor from Outer Space. The wish to go home again is strong in E.T., and after being able to
communicate with Elliot and the others, E.T. starts building an improvised device to send a
message home for his folks to come and pick him up. But before long, E.T. gets seriously sick,
and because of his special connection to Elliot, the young boy suffers, too. The situation gets
critical when the task force finally intervenes. By then, all help may already be too late, and there's
no alien spaceship in sight.

This group meets on the second Monday of each month to discuss a specific mystery, horror, or
intrigue novel. This month - In the Garden of Iden by Kage Baker. A bittersweet tale of a young
woman's first love. The initial assignment for 18-year-old Mendoza, transformed into an
immortal cyborg by the 24th-century Company, is to retrieve from Renaissance England an
endangered plant that cures cancer. Posing as a Spanish lady accompanying her doctor father,
she falls in love with the mortal Nicholas Harpole, secretary to the owner of Iden Hall and its
exotic gardens. Amidst the raging Catholic/Protestant powerplays revolving around the English
throne and the fervent religious bloodlust of common folk, Mendoza is torn between her task
and her love. For additional information click

Jack Ketchum is the pseudonym for a former actor, singer, teacher, literary agent, lumber
salesman, and soda jerk -- a former flower child and baby boomer who figures that in 1956 Elvis,
dinosaurs and horror probably saved his life. His first novel, Off Season, prompted the Village
Voice to publicly scold its publisher in print for publishing violent pornography. He personally
disagrees but is perfectly happy to let you decide for yourself. His short story The Box won a 1994
Bram Stoker Award from the HWA, his story Gone won again in 2000 -- and in 2003 he won
Stokers for both best collection for Peaceable Kingdom and best long fiction for Closing Time. He
has written eleven novels, the latest of which are Red, Ladies' Night, and The Lost. His stories
are collected in The Exit At Toledo Blade Boulevard, Broken on the Wheel of Sex, and
Peaceable Kingdom. His novella The Crossings was cited by Stephen King in his speech at the
2003 National Book Awards. For additional information click
