Worldcon 2019 Schedule
Hey folks,
If you are interested in seeing me at Worldcon in Dublin this year, all the details of confirmed events are listed below:
Introduction to grimdark
16 Aug 2019, Friday 18:00 - 18:50, Wicklow Hall-1 (CCD)
Grimdark is a fantasy subgenre defined, amongst other things, by its cynical outlook and flawed protagonists. The term was originally pejorative, stemming from the Warhammer 40,000 description: ‘In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war’ – but many authors have turned the insult around and claimed it as their own. The panel will offer a brief introduction to the history and tropes of grimdark fantasy as well as reading recommendations.
Devin Madson (M), Elliot Craggs, Kim ten Tusscher, Cameron Johnston, Jenn Lyons
It’s all gone to shit: grimdark worldbuilding
18 Aug 2019, Sunday 10:00 - 10:50, Wicklow Room-2 (CCD)
Let’s build a dark and dreadful world, and then make it worse. Join our super-serious panelists as they discuss the darker aspects of worldbuilding in fantasy.
Robert Corvus (M), Anna Smith Spark, Cameron Johnston, Joe Abercrombie, R.F. Kuang
Signing
18th August 2019, Sunday 11:30am-12 Book signings at the Angry Robot stand
