Group meets the third Tuesday of each month to discuss the major works of the greatest authors
of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and related genres. This month: Robert Charles Wilson with
the featured selection being Darwinia. In 1912, the entire European continent and all of the United
Kingdom mysteriously vanished during the Miracle, replaced by an alien landscape known as
Darwinia. Darwinia seems to be a slice of another Earth, one that diverged from our own millions
of years ago and took a separate evolutionary path. As a 14-year-old boy, Guilford Law witnessed
the Miracle as shimmering lights playing across the ocean sky. Now as a grown man, he is
determined to travel to Darwinia and explore its mysteries. To that end he enlists as a
photographer in the Finch expedition, which plans to steam up the Rhine (or what was once the
Rhine) and penetrate the continent's hidden depths as far as possible. But Law has brought an
unwanted companion with him, a mysterious twin who seems to have lived--and died--on an
Earth unchanged by the Miracle. The twin first appears to Guilford in dreams, and he brings a
message that Darwinia is not what it seems to be--and Guilford is not who he seems to be.

Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill Judas Coyne is a collector of the macabre: a cookbook for
cannibals . . . a used hangman's noose . . . a snuff film. An aging death-metal rock god, his taste
for the unnatural is as widely known to his legions of fans as the notorious excesses of his youth.
But nothing he possesses is as unlikely or as dreadful as his latest discovery, an item for sale on
the Internet, a thing so terribly strange, Jude can't help but reach for his wallet. For more
information click http://www.bordersstores.com/stores/store_pg.jsp?storeID=479.
