Weird Fiction is alive and well and, perhaps, weirder than ever! Fans and authors discuss the genre, its popularity and legacy.
In September I’ll be at
FantasyCon where the British Fantasy Awards will be announced and A Tiding of Magpies has been shortlisted for best collection. I’m also a judge on the Best Novella category and we’ve had some interesting discussions about the shortlist.
Then October is a busy month where I’ll be helping run 3 big events:
Bristol HorrorCon,
Bristol Festival of Literature and
BristolCon (this is why I usually take holiday in November!) – More details on them when the programs are revealed. I will be appearing several times during those events…
