Dark Fantasy track looking for volunteers
If you like horror, urban fantasy, and music performed in minor keys, you might be the person we are looking for! Dragon*Con's Dark Fantasy track has some staff slots available, so if you are interested, check the criteria on the website, and then e-mail me at darkfantasies (at) dragoncon.org. Space is limited, of course, so I will be reviewing interested queries in the coming weeks.
The official track description -
Horror, Urban Fantasy, and Gothic Entertainment converge on the Dark Fantasy track - Dragon*Con's home for all thing macabre, sinister, twisted, and downright weird. In 2009, the Dark Fantasy track is planning to bring you its best-ever programming in the fields of literature, film, television, art, music, and culture. From best-selling authors to acclaimed artists, visionary metaphysicians to cutting-edge musicians, vampires to zombies, Hellboy to...well, Hellraiser, the Dark Fantasy track is sure to offer something to everyone with a taste for "the dark side."
Tentative topics to be discussed this year are vampires in southern fiction, body horror, Weird Tales magazine, world-building in urban fantasy, Edgar Allan Poe, gothic fashion, the hit TV show True Blood, supernatural themes in music, the logistics of immortality, combining fantasy and mystery, and a writers-eye view of goth culture.
