Not a ton of pictures, sorry. And I forgot to get pictures of the BTRS Books table with Rain Shadows for sale! But this was a fantastic event nonetheless and perhaps it’s a good thing that I was too immersed to take pictures.
I met so many amazing folks, including:
- famous ones (i.e. Paul Tremblay and Joyce Carol Oates, who I actually also met 30+ years ago in Chicago)
- horror writing’s biggest movers and shakers (Johnny Compton, Adam Nevill, Ronald Malfi)
- some folks I’ve only known virtually in person, such as Jeff C. Carter, Jon Gensler, Saytchen Maddux-Creech, Jaq Evans…
- and so many more that it’s impossible to list them all here!
More details in next month’s Substack (you should follow… it’s free and you might win a free copy of Rain Shadows as a follower).
