Book Reviews, Attack the Block, and Authors Ryan Boudinot and Ayize Jama-Everett

Happy Monday! SF in SF has some awesome authors speaking this week, but I'm going to start off by sharing some reviews.

First, Fresh Fiction takes a look at Charles de Lint's Promises to Keep:

"A clear and stunning view revealing the secrets of Newford." Nice! Read the rest of the review here.

Functional Nerds loves Kafkaesque! They say "It's an extremely rich and potent collection..." and you can read the rest of the review here.

SF in SF movie night kicks off a new year this Thursday with Attack the Block, a fast, funny, and gritty tale of aliens attacking the slums of South London. Did you miss this one when it came out in theaters? (I didn't, and it was AWESOME) Well, now's your chance to see it.

Doors and cash bar (proceeds go to Variety Children's Charity) open at 6PM, movie starts at 7. And there's free popcorn!
