Just the thought of it strikes fear into the hearts of children everywhere. But for some, it is something to look forward to. It is September, and we have bought our school supplies, and are ready for the next grade. What's the connection between schools and science fiction, fantasy, and horror? Troy Harkin and David Clink will look at the linkages, the places we wish we had gone, like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry; Sunnydale High School; Brakebills University for Magical Pedagogy; Starfleet Academy; The Jedi Praxeum. Perhaps the greatest question of all - do you want to attend a school that is on top of a Hellmouth? Our special guest is Maaja Wentz. See author photo and bio below..
