I’ll be attending VCON 41 in Surrey this year and appearing on a couple of panels that look like great fun:

Building Monsters

Mary Shelley utilized the novel concept of “galvanism” to infuse her creature with life. What recent scientific findings could be used to craft modern monsters?

With Rob Boffard, Joe Fulgham, Catherine Girczyc, Kevin Harkness and Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

Sunday, Oct. 2, 12:00-12:50, Green Timbers 3

Beyond Lovecraft

Lovecraft is synonymous with Weird Horror fiction, sometimes even with the whole field of horror fiction. But who are the contemporary writers making a splash in this field? And what of the other, older writers of the Weird that time has forgotten?

With Julie McGalliard, Rob Boffard, Graham J. Darling and Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

Sunday, Oct. 2, 4-4:50, Tynehead 2
