Welcome to the website for PSFS, the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society!
We are a membership-based organization of science fiction and fantasy fans based in Philadelphia, PA. PSFS had its first meeting in 1936, making us one of the oldest science fiction groups in the world. We are open to anyone interested in science fiction, fantasy, or horror, in all media from the written word to movies, TV, comics, games and gaming, and visual art.
We’d love to hear from you! To ask a question and tell us more about your interests, email info@psfs.org.
Our next meeting will be on Friday, October 10 at 8 pm. Our guest speaker is Benjamin Liar, author of the stunning 2024 debut novel THE FAILURES! This is a virtual meeting. Please contact us at info@psfs.org for the Zoom link.

Benjamin Liar is the author of the stunning debut novel THE FAILURES, the first in the Wanderlands trilogy. He has been a writer, musician, filmmaker, game developer, bartender, cartographer, estimator, semi-professional drinker, ditch-digger, file organizer, rockabilly bassist, bad actor, screenwriter, house painter, passionate fort-builder, reformed preacher, drywall hanger, decent friend and terrible lover.
His name is obviously a pseudonym, but you still shouldn’t believe anything he says.
Here’s the rest of our 2025 meeting schedule:
- Friday Nov 21 at PHILCON
- Friday Dec 12 in person, guest TBA
All meetings start at 8 pm except for the July meeting. The December meeting will be held at St. Mary’s at Penn.
