Wednesday, October 21, 2026, 2:00 AM - 3:30 AM ยท Fabulosa Books, Castro, San Francisco
Author Lindsay Merbaum discusses her queer metaphysical mystery novel Witches of the Wheel in conversation with G.G. Silverman. Event starts at 7pm at Fabulosa Books.
A queer-focused bookshop opened in 2021 by Alvin Orloff (author and Castro neighborhood fixture) carrying new and used titles with LGBTQ+ literature at the center alongside fiction, mystery, sci-fi, and memoir. The monthly book club meets the second Wednesday with no registration required, and the store helped found Books Not Bans, sending queer books to communities where they are being removed from shelves. It is compact, personal, and built around the idea that the Castro's bookshop should be as particular as the neighborhood itself.
