Writing the Uncanny. Panel with Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, Claire Dean, Alison Moore and Dan Coxon
What is the Uncanny? How does it work? And what can a writer do to ensure their fiction continues to haunt the reader long after they've closed a book? Drawing on Writing the Uncanny: Essays on Crafting Strange Fiction, (Dead Ink, 2021) this in person panel discussion will see three contemporary authors explain what drew them to the uncanny, share their insights on horror, ghost stories, folklore and beyond, and offer practical guidance on how to craft unsettling fiction which resonates. Dan Coxon, its co-editor chairs the panel.
