Halloween
is coming to Staffordshire earlier than expected, so ghosts, ghouls
and creatures of the night will be terrorising Staffordshire in
the near future...
But don’t worry there’s no need to hide under your bed sheets, these
spooky creatures are purely imaginary!
Share knowledge
The Grissecon convention is a place where enthusiasts of fantasy,
horror, mystery and magic can gather together to share their knowledge,
converse with well respected writers and have a lot of fun.
The event will take place over three days at Tillington Hall in
Stafford.... tickets range from £40 to £60 depending
on when you buy them.
Storm
 The
convention has been arranged to celebrate the publication of The
Wraiths of Will and Pleasure the latest novel from Storm Constantine
(pictured right), who was born and breed in Stafford.
The world of Storm Constantine’s Wraeththu has proved to have lasting
appeal for many fantasy enthusiasts. The Wreaththu are a mythical
race who posses psychic powers and the ability, through a process
called inception, to transform humans into creatures like themselves.
More
about Storm
Storm who lives in Stafford, underwent an art college education,
but found it too restricting creatively. Her first book, The
Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit was published in 1987.
Storm has written approximately 1.5 books a year ever since!
In the 80s and 90s, she spent some time managing bands, and
produced fan club magazines. Storm then worked on Visionary
Tongue, which was a regular magazine of dark fantasy/fantasy/science
fiction stories. She enlisted the help of several writer friends
to act as editors, so that up-and-coming writers would have
the chance to work with a professional, and pick up tips about
their craft and the industry. |
If
you
are wondering how Storm Constantine comes up with such surreal concepts
then why not ask her at the Grissecon convention. Storm Constantine
will be available to answer your questions 3.30pm on Sunday 12th
October.
Enthusiasts
from all over the world.
As
well as having the opportunity to chat to  Storm
Constantine (pictured right), other writers available
for a chin wag include Andrew Collins, Freda Warrington, Ricardo
Pinto, Ruby and Anne Sudwoth. There will be guests and speakers
from all corners of the globe including, America, Europe, Australia
and the UK.
Fun
Stuff
The
convention is about more than authors of fantasy and horror. There
will be dealer stands selling alternative clothing, bric a brac,
fantasy books/comics, magical paraphernalia, artefacts and artwork.
There will also be interactive workshops as well as a masquerade
ball on Saturday night. There will also be a chance for you to experience
the lives of your favourite characters during role play sessions.
How to get involved
So if
you want to meet new people, have fun and improve your writing skills
make sure you get yourself along to the Grissecon convention. It
takes place at Tillington Hall, Eccleshall Road, Stafford on 10th,
11th and 12th October.
