Announcing a new, music-themed horror anthology from The Slab Press, to be launched at Fantasycon in Glasgow on October 10th, with a fabulous design concept from editor Donna Scott, and stories from such authors as Kit Power, Tiffani Angus, Ben Jones, Andrew Hook and many more!

My own story, 'Stitched Lip Symphony', among other things references Victor Jara's dreadful end. If that upsets Ed Sheeran apologists who think 'musicians should stay out of politics', that's something I'll just have to live with.

MARILYN MONROE: Fact & Fiction of a dazzling life

Julie Owen Moylan & Andrew Wilson · chaired by Andrew Hook

On the centenary of the iconic film star’s birth, two authors - one writing from a fictional perspective, one from a biographical - bring their very different takes on Marilyn’s dazzling and tragic life to this richly illuminating conversation.

Julie Owen-Moylan and Andrew Wilson ask: who was the real Norma Jean, really? And why does the dazzling life of Marylin Monroe still capture our imagination? Moderated by author Andrew Hook - whose short stories also use Marylin’s life as inspiration.

Followed by a screening of The Prince and The Showgirl at @abbeygatecinema

Hook observes his characters like a cinematographer. The words convey, in precise and telling detail, the mundanity of self-oppression. These mechanic(al) lives are full but paradoxically empty. The story is driven by sensuality and pursuit but somehow, behind the mask, it aches with a longing and an undefined sadness. - Stephen Volk
