As part of the Durango Public Library Literary Festival, Andrea Rogers will present the talk, "To Disturb and Delight: Building The Speculative World," at 6PM on Thursday, May 14th.

Horror and sci-Fi often travel together. World building sometimes requires the donning of GENRE colored glasses. We’ll survey the characteristics of the genres and sub genres of horror and futurisms we’re interested in writing.
We’ll also have fun doing some writing.
