What better place for a bookstore to set up an outpost but at a really great 
bar. 
Especially if the bar is the 
KGB and it's the 
Wednesday night Fantastic Fiction series (there's also a night called Careening Drunk Writers...).
But 
Word travels.  At least from Brooklyn or Jersey City to the East Village where great writers get a chance to read great stories.
And tonight was no different, with 
Carola Dibbell reading from the acclaimed and heralded debut novel, 
The Only Ones and 
Gemma Files taking folks on a ride through hell with her 
Book of Tongues. 
Well, like peanut butter and chocolate or jelly or whatever ones likes with peanut butter, writers hanging out in a bar having a great drink and listening to wild and thrilling stories and books on the back shelf like candy just waiting to be snapped up seems a hellava lot more fun than swiping right or left or screaming over a $20 martini.
