A Place to Explore the Wonderful Worlds of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror in Books, Movies, Television & More!

For over 40 years the S F A B C has promoted an interest and enjoyment of science fiction, fantasy, horror and related areas with a variety of events and activities.  If you live nearby, we hope you will join us at our next General Meeting and our other events.  If you are not from around here, you can either join the group which will allow you to post to our public groups and to access our private sites and groups.  If you are not interested in joining, there is still plenty of useful and interesting material posted at our public areas.
