Reprinted stories and letters, movie adaptations, plushie dolls, a word describing a haunting mood, a Portland bar—the evidence points to one man. How did this happen? (And can we stop it?!)
With moderator Robert Price, Scott Glancy, Jarred Wallace, and Thomas Phinney.
Everyone has an idea about what would be the quintessential cinematic HPL experience. Would it take a huge budget for location scouting, CGI and period costumes? (And do we really want tentacles in 3D?)
With moderator Sean Branney, Andrew Migliore, Eric Morgret, and Jess Gulbranson.
How did HPL portray women and gender roles in his fiction and has horror evolved its characters since then?
With moderator Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Molly Tanzer, Scott Connors, and Robert Price.
Authors of the weird and frightful discuss how and why they write horror fiction, and the influence of classic eldritch tales. (And what flavor blood the typewriter demands.)
With moderator Cody Goodfellow, Edward Morris, Jay Lake, Molly Tanzer, and Andrew S. Fuller.
Editors share their experience and expertise about shaping collections of things both alike and yet not, the biz, and the slushpile. (Not a pitch session, bar is down the street.)
With moderator Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Ross Lockhart, Jeff Burk, E. Catherine Tobler, and James Beach.
Comic writers, artists and editors speak of their inspirations, process, collaboration, business, and many-limbed pets.
With moderator Scott Allie, Brandon Seifert, Lee Moyer, Paul Tobin, Sierra Hahn, Patric Reynolds, and Josh Williamson.
Strange tomes have been rumored throughout history. How did HPL and other authors utilize this idea? (And when is Al Azif coming out in Kindle format?)
