Magic, Mystery & Mayhem: Local Settings Through the Looking Glass
Friday June 19, 1-2:30pm
Tickets: $20
Location: Heritage Church
Supernatural British Columbia takes a magical turn with these mid-island speculative fiction authors writing SFF/H versions of local settings.
Explore the ripples, cracks, and reversals in how local storytellers represent familiar faces, moments, and landscapes with unexpected imagination, uncanny possibility, eerie hauntings, and beyond—and get inspired to dig beneath the surface of your own story and surroundings.
This panel discussion will include short readings, insights into the writers’ process, and time for Q&A followed by book signings.
