Baltimore Book Festival

Swing by the Baltimore Book Festival SFWA stage at the Peabody Heights Brewery at 4PM on Sunday, September 29 for the panel discussion “Don’t Worry; the Monster’s Got Your Back” — Nicole M. Wolverton will moderate the discussion for panelists Sarah Pinsker, Samara Shanker, and Darius Jones.

Panel description: Readers and writers who enjoy being scared for fun are often accused of being warped or unhinged–and maybe even downright creepy. The reality is that twisted fiction is often transformational for those who consume it. Join our panel’s lively discussion probing questions such as, Why do we enjoy creepy things?

During this time when horror books, films, and other media are growing in popularity, horror clearly serves a purpose beyond fear. Dare to peek in the closet with us.
