Every year the Friends of the Merril gather for a Christmas Cream Tea, where amid convivial company, authors and followers of Canadian sf&f share readings, news, and a liberality of ideas.

This year author and professor Allan Weiss will be the keynote speaker, discussing the work of Mary Shelley and its resonance in modern society.

Rounding out that presentation, D.G. Laderoute will be reading from his newest YA novel, The Great Sky, and cover artist Patrick Hunter will delve into artistic interpretation.

We hope you will join us in celebrating some of the greatest sf&f, and discover a new voice in the Canadian sphere.
