Ethan Gilsdorf presents a visual and verbal tour through his book “Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks: An Epic Quest for Reality Among Role Players, Online Gamers, and Other Dwellers of Imaginary Realms” (now available in paperback).

Doritos and Mountain Dew will be served, and prizes will be awarded to those who answer 'geek trivia' questions. Those attending the reading will also receive a $2 off coupon to play Dungeons & Dragons night, which begins at 6:30 and costs $15/member, $20/nonmember.

The award-winning travel memoir investigates fantasy and gaming subcultures – from Dungeons & Dragons players to World of Warcraft addicts, from Harry Potter fans to live-action role-players. “Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks” also recounts the author's quest to make peace with his geeky past and accept his 'inner geek.' In a slide-lecture, the author will discuss his book and the appeal of fantasy and gaming, followed by a Q&A and book signing.

FANTASY FREAKS AND GAMING GEEKS, now available in paperback, is a coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of Dungeons & Dragons obsession and a mid-life crisis. Ultimately, it’s an account of the author’s quest to accept his 'inner geek.'
