Co-presented with Locus Magazine and SF in SF

Celebrate the spooky season with Ellen Datlow, Hugo Award–winning editor of the new horror anthology All Hallows Eve: Stories of Halloween and Other Festivals of the Dead, a chilling lineup of 19 original short stories delving into our worldwide obsession with that time of year when the veil is lifted, spirits come alive, and the boundary between the living and the dead is far too thin. Joined by anthology contributors and world-class masters of the genre Linda D. Addison, Theresa DeLucci, Brian Evenson, and Jeffrey Ford, Datlow will offer a rare peek behind the publishing curtain, introducing the authors reading from their featured works with insights on how each one was hand-picked for inclusion in her anthology. But that’s not all—Datlow will also sit down with Locus Magazine editor-in-chief Liza Trombi to discuss four-plus decades of her legendary career in the horror genre, and the countless authors she’s shepherded to print. Doors at 7:30pm.
