Please reach out to us at events@oldtownbooks.com for reasonable accessibility accommodations.About the book:Dive into a world where magic lies hidden just below the surface in this charming urban fantasy full of workplace found family, queer romance, and supernatural creatures straight out of Southeast Asian lore, from debut author Jared Poon.In the sunny city of Singapore, the government takes care of everything—even the weird stuff.Benjamin Toh is a middle manager in the Division for Engagement of Unusual Stakeholders (DEUS), and his job is straightforward: keep the supernatural inhabitants of Singapore happy and keep them out of sight. That is, don’t bother the good, normal citizens, and certainly don’t bother the bosses. Sure, he's overworked and understaffed, but usually, people (and senior management) don’t see what they don’t want to see.But when an entire housing estate glitches out of existence on what was meant to be a routine check-in, Ben has to scramble to keep things under control and stop the rest of the city from disappearing. He may not have the budget or the bandwidth, but he has the best—if highly irregular and supernaturally inclined—team to help him. Together, they’ll traverse secret shadow markets, scale skyscrapers, and maybe even go to the stars, all so they can just do their goddamn job. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/april-sci-fi-and-fantasy-book-club-city-of-others/100001981460273016 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, sports, it - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Alexandria - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Old Town Books - **lat**: 38.80359139999999 - **long**: -77.04368099999999 - **full address**: Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: April Sci-Fi & Fantasy Book Club: City of Others - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/603b140d59a97b45b75b1e7aba9ea075cad1209c2386d4a8d85e342546cb0528-rimg-w1200-h600-dce1c198-gmir.jpg?v=1769346317 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is April Sci-Fi & Fantasy Book Club: City of Others being held? - **A:** April Sci-Fi & Fantasy Book Club: City of Others takes place on Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing April Sci-Fi & Fantasy Book Club: City of Others? - **A:** April Sci-Fi & Fantasy Book Club: City of Others is organized by Old Town Books. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Old Town Books's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Old Town Books a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
