Fantastic reading on January 10, 2026 in Eppertshausen
The Darmstadt Science Fiction Club on Saturday, January 10 , 2026. The guest author Ju Honisch from Frankfurt will read from her fantasy novel "The Serpent of Evil" .
The general science fiction discussion group meets as usual at 6 p.m. in the main hall of the Adebar in Eppertshausen. The actual reading starts at 8 p.m. simultaneously in the separate smaller hall.
Victorian magic and dangerous secrets
The reading will be from the novel "The Serpent of Evil ," published by Torsten Low . The story takes place in 1887 at Cambridge University .
The story centers on Elinor, a young woman with a Victorian upbringing who defies societal expectations. Instead of entering into a marriage befitting her social standing, she wants to study. As the only woman among men, she is admitted to Royston College, where arcane sciences – a form of scientific magic – are taught.
But Elinor's courage leads her into dangerous situations: not all professors and students accept her presence. Intrigue, conspiracies, and supernatural beings like werewolves shape everyday life at the college. The question of whom to trust is a central theme throughout the novel.
Meeting place for science fiction and fantasy enthusiasts
The literary evening is aimed at everyone interested in science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction. The Darmstadt Science Fiction Club regularly offers readings, discussions, and exchanges about the genre.
