Appearance: Speculative Fiction Festival 2019

On Saturday, 29th June, the NSW Writer's Centre is staging its biannual Speculative Fiction Festival. Panels such as "World Building 101" (with Keith Stevenson and Catherine McKinnon) and "Science Fiction Now" (with Cat Sparks and Shankari Chandran) will dip into fantasy and science fiction, while "The Creeping Dread, the Frightful Scare" will, you guessed it. I will will of course be participating in the latter, alongside Kaaron Warren, Robert Hood and Aaron Dries.

"Our panel of seasoned horror writers eviscerate the craft of writing true horror. What keeps them from sleep or wakes them in the middle of the night, how do they translate their worst fears onto the written page and what techniques do they use to truly frighten their readers?"

Excerpts shall be read. Anecdotes shall be shared, along with truly terrible jokes. To purchase ticket (valid for the whole event), go here. The NSW Writer's Centre, for those who have not had the pleasure, is housed in a beautifully preserved Georgian manor house built in 1840 for the chief doctor of the lunatic asylum whose exquisite sandstone buildings are now a campus of the Sydney college of the arts.
