Our September book: Heroes in the Night

Our September book discussion will be on Heroes in the Night: Inside the Real Life Superhero Movement by Tea Krulos.    Here is the summary (courtesy of Goodreads):
Tracing the author's journey into the strange subculture of Real Life Superheroes (RLSHs), this book examines citizens who have adopted comicbook–style personas and have hit the streets to fight injustice in a variety of ways. Some RLSHs concentrate on humanitarian or activist missions—helping the homeless, gathering donations for food banks, or delivering toys to children—while others actively patrol their neighborhoods looking for crime to fight. By day, these modern Clark Kents work as dishwashers, pencil pushers, and executives in Fortune 500 companies, but by night—they become heroes for the people. Through historic research and extensive interviews, this work shares not only their shining, triumphant moments, but also some of their ill-advised, terrifying disasters as well.

If you need a book for our discussion on September 17th, please ask staff at the Connection Desk or Reference Desk.
