This year, the World Fantasy Convention is coming to Brighton and we’re rolling Fantasycon into it, celebrating 50 years of British Fantasy and Horror. I’ll be there both in my role as Chair of the BFS, and to launch Daughters of Nicnevin, and I’m so looking forward to it.
Join Shona Kinsella and Sam K. Horton in conversation as they launch their new books, both powerful stories of history and the supernatural.
Ragwort continues the story begun in Gorse, a tense historical folk-horror tinged tale of the fey, while Daughters of Nicnevin sees a very different kind of fae stalking its pages. Sam and Shona will be discussing the different ways they use history in their books, the inspirations for their different interpretations of the Fair Folk, and more, in conversation with Meg MacDonald, before signing copies of their books.

Daughters of Nicnevin will be having its very first book party during the BFS Online event, Something Monstrous. I’ll be interviewed by the lovely David Green about Jacobites, witches, and community coming together to face external threats.
Tickets are free for members of the BFS and £5 for everyone else, and get you access to the full day of events, from panels to interviews to readings. These events are always a whole lot of fun and there’s so much going on.
