BristolCon Fringe: November 2015 - Q&A
Tuesday Jan 19, 2016
Tuesday Jan 19, 2016
Finally for November our two readers were put to the question by Cheryl Morgan. We discussed the differing natures of horror short fiction and epic fantasy. Tom talked about the growing interest in writing fiction, and Lucy told us about a blog post she had been advised not to publish in case it offended some men. We congratulated Jo Hall on winning an award for killing lots of people in her stories.

Our second reader for November was Lucy Housom. We were expecting Lucy to read from her novel, Starborn, but instead she treated us to an exclusive preview of the sequel, which is still being written. There are no spiders in this reading, though there is quite a lot of sand.

Stephanie Burgis was unable to make the November event due to having been kidnapped by publishers armed with cake. However, Tom Parker bravely offered to step up and take her place. Tom read two stories from his forthcoming horror collection. Please be warned that if you are nervous about spiders you probably do not want to listen to this one.

BristolCon Fringe: October 2015 - Jonathan L. Howard

Friday Jan 01, 2016
Continuing our Halloween theme, Jonathan L. Howard launches his latest novel, Carter & Lovecraft. There are no tentacled horrors from beyond the stars in the excerpt that he reads (you'll need to buy the book for them). However, there is a particularly nasty serial killer. The cops get very sweary.

BristolCon Fringe: October 2015 - Joanne Hall
Friday Jan 01, 2016
Friday Jan 01, 2016
This is the first of our Halloween special deeply creepy readings from October. Jo Hall is more generally known for being the Queen of Grimdark, but there is no mass slaughter in this excerpt from her latest novel, Spark & Carousel. Instead there's something cold, calculated and ultimately horrible.
