Joe is desperate to let loose and finally move beyond the heartbreak of having lost his boyfriend to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.The two friends are quickly taken in by a pair of quirky, older house cleaners. But something seems off, and Joe starts to suspect the two older men of being up to something otherworldly. In truth, Howie and Lenny are members of a secret disco witch coven tasked with protecting the island—and young men like Joe—from the relentless tragedies ravaging their community. The only problem is, having lost too many of their fellow witches to the epidemic, the coven’s protective powers have been seriously damaged.Unaware of all the mystical shenanigans going on, Joe starts to fall for the super-cute bisexual ferryman who just happens to have webbed feet and an unusual ability to hold his breath underwater. But Joe’s longing to find love is tripped up by his own troublesome past as well as the lure of a mysterious hunk he keeps seeing around the island—a man Howie and Lenny warn may be a harbinger of impending doom.The Disco Witches need to find help—fast—if they’re to save Joe and the island from the Great Darkness. But how? Fans of queer romances with a dash of fantasy will fall in love with this stunning novel of community, love, sex, magic, and hope in desperate times.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yscilU5eZMs - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/torrance/quacks-queer-book-club/100001996056350276 - **Event Categories**: parties, entertainment - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 18+ - door_time: 2026-08-30T18:45:00Z - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: South Bay LGBTQ+ Center - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Torrance - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: South Bay LGBTQ+ Center - **lat**: 33.879868 - **long**: -118.3257847 - **full address**: South Bay LGBTQ+ Center, 16610 Crenshaw Boulevard, Torrance, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Q.U.A.C.K.'s Queer Book Club - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/02d32e41249d5a555c13524d10a6c4d00323d182f3d280e68b03be8767582133-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8e878-gmir.jpg?v=1785822358 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Q.U.A.C.K.'s Queer Book Club being held? - **A:** Q.U.A.C.K.'s Queer Book Club takes place on Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 12:00 pm to Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm at South Bay LGBTQ+ Center, 16610 Crenshaw Boulevard, Torrance, United States. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Q.U.A.C.K.'s Queer Book Club? - **A:** Q.U.A.C.K.'s Queer Book Club is strictly for guests aged 18 and above.
