Panel: Wonder vs. Dread: Encountering the Gods in Fiction and Real life

Video page

From cave paintings to Clive Barker, Gilgamesh to Octavia Butler, humans have always told stories to explain the inexplicable. This panel examines how humans describe the mind-blowing experience of confronting beings and forces that put us in our place as specks of dust in the darkness. Panelists bring the varied perspectives of fandom, authors in the field, traditional monotheism, and some academic occultism as we wrestle with angels and other embodiments of order and chaos.

Panel: Evolution of Cosmic Horror

Video page

The mythos was always a shared universe, but shared to a very exclusive set of authors, namely white men. People of color were cast as the villains in these narratives, blamed for all the ills troubling mankind (if they were given a part in the story at all). Women were absent from these early stories, unless of course, they too were cast as villains. Invisible were the faces of our LGBTQ community in this tapestry of horror. How did outsider creators fall in love with something that casts them in such a negative fashion, and why do they (we) feel it's important to change its direction?
