So August is always a busy month and this year looks
no different -
First
up is Nine Worlds, one of my favourite Cons from last year and one I'm really
looking forward to this year.
I'm
on the program –
Writing the Inhuman: more yeti
than human...
1.30pm
- 2.45pm
County A
From Frankenstein's creation to Lady Stoneheart, literature is constantly probing the the boundaries between the human and the inhuman to ask: who is the true monster?
Panel: Pete Sutton, Adrian Tchaikovsky, David Mumford, Laure Eve, Jennifer Williams

And will be doing a reading as part of the "New Voices" sessions - as yet I don't know if that will be Friday or Saturday
The weekend after is LonCon and again I’m on the
program there –
Old New Classics: The Off-Beat and Indie Comics of Yore
Saturday 13:30 - 15:00, Capital Suite
14 (ExCeL)
When people discuss the Golden Age and Silver Age of Comics the
conversation is often dominated by the emergence of the superhero in both DC
and Marvel. However, from its inception comics were always a fertile breeding
ground for fun, weird, and alternative stories.
What influential, under-appreciated comics from the past deserve a higher profile today? What kind of comics would people like to see more of now, that were plentiful in the past?
Are we more progressive in comics today, or re-learning to embrace the medium?
Scott Edelman (M), Smuzz, Allan J. Sim, Peter Sutton, Barbara G.Tarn

On Sunday 17th I’m off to
Edinburgh Fringe – where I’ll be watching plays, comedy and some book stuff (I
have tickets for both Jeff VanderMeer & Nik Harkaway) – I’ll be blogging
the Fringe this year – more details later.
I get back from the Fringe and have a
day or two rest then on Monday 25th Ann & Jeff VanderMeer will
be doing an event (tickets here)
Small stories in association with Bristol Festival of Literature,
Wizards Tower Press & BristolCon present:
An evening with Ann & Jeff VanderMeer
