He finally feels free. But the circus has a dark side, and Micah’s past isn’t done with him.Meanwhile, the strange 'ghost' of a woman with damselfly wings whispers to Micah that only he can help magic return to the realm, and he fears she may be right…Micah has much to learn, and he must do it quickly—before his past and future collide, with catastrophic consequences.Pantomime is a gorgeous and inventive fantasy with queer elements, inspired by Victorian Scotland.

Lam weaves a coming-of-age tale, stirrings of first love, and prophetic whispers into this unforgettable first installment of the Micah Grey series. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/january-queer-book-club-pantomime/100001975228237831 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, meetups, 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**: January Queer Book Club: Pantomime - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/733e5af4e7d9a35922a75b14f48a44a12b8fd52fd1b63dac3614049407733b3f-rimg-w1200-h600-dc5da9af-gmir.jpg?v=1763978596 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is January Queer Book Club: Pantomime being held? - **A:** January Queer Book Club: Pantomime takes place on Fri, 09 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Fri, 09 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing January Queer Book Club: Pantomime? - **A:** January Queer Book Club: Pantomime is organized by Old Town Books. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
