Hi
Guys,
As the weekend looms large, I thought this'd be a good opportunity to share a final few news tidbits to hold you over until Monday! Of course, it's always possible I may feel compelled to blog over the weekend - who knows?
Anyway,
here's all the very latest news on Edge-Lit:
Two
more workshops subjects confirmed - Jaine Fenn's workshop will be
called 'Building Character Through Questions', while Niki Valentine's
session will be entitled 'Building Suspense'. Also, to add a bit more
detail, Mike Shevdon sent us the following details about his workshop
- 'The Dynamics of Dialogue: How to
write engaging dialogue that pulls readers into the story, engages
with plot, reveals character and delivers the punch that readers
love. A workshop for aspiring writers who've struggled with who says
what!'
The
good folks at This is Horror (www.thisishorror.co.uk)
will be running some interviews and features on Edge-Lit in the final
few weeks leading up to the event. For those unfamiliar with the
site, it's run by the marvellous Michael Wilson and features a whole
host of news and interviews, as well as running events and the
exciting new chapbook line. Well worth a look for any horror fan.
We're
currently looking to arrange author introductions for our four superb
Lovecraftian screenings over the weekend – Friday 13th
(why not?) sees the screening of the fantastic HP Lovecraft
Historical Society version of The Call of Cthulhu, followed by a
suitably rugged Kurt Russell in The Thing. Saturday night's
double-header will see Stuart Gordon's Dreams in the Witch-House
followed by Lucio Fulci's fabulous House by the Cemetery, and our
introductions will be looking to add a little more insight into the
life and work of HP Lovecraft, as well as these individual
interpretations and inspirations.
The
guys at Mayhem Horror Festival have generously supported the film
angle of the event, and you can check out their Facebook event for
these four screenings at
http://www.facebook.com/events/347207348681987/ And you should most certainly check out the Festival's page itself at http://mayhemhorrorfest.co.uk/
And
on the subject of Facebook, are you all signed up to our event and
page? And if not, why not? We'll certainly have lots of news and
updates there as the event closes in – check them out at
http://www.facebook.com/EdgeLit
and http://www.facebook.com/events/247277708699984/
So
that's all for one week – expect another busy week of news to be
flooding in next week!
Thanks
a lot
Alex
