Halifax Ghost Story Festival

[tartarusrussell]

Tartarus Press will be amongst those participating in the Halifax Ghost Story Festival on 29th-31st October, 2010. The venue is Dean Clough, Halifax, West Yorkshire.

Tartarus will be at the festival on the 30th, 11am-1pm, in the project room. We have a number of items planned which will be confirmed in the coming week. This will be a free event, but you will need to book tickets in advance. Details will be available soon.

In addition, 7-9pm in the Viaduct cafe, I'm meant to be appearing with Jeremy Dyson to talk about Robert Aickman. There will also be a screening of The Cicerones. Tickets will be £5, and will be on sale from 12th September.

Hopefully some TLO folk will be able to make it?

All the best

Ray

Sounds fun. I wish the old USA had more events like this.

Dr Gail-Nina Anderson will be participating in the Tartarus part of the program in the Halifax Ghost Story Festival:

The Ghost in the Grave – a haunting image that won’t stay buried.
Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti went on painting his wife Lizzie Siddal even after her death and burial. Images of her continue to provoke a growing mythology about love, loss and morbid beauty. A network of connections has grown up, drawing these representations onto a wider canvas of Victorian obsessions and superstitions. This illustrated talk explores a web of weird references which has spread to include Dracula, Jack the Ripper, Edgar Allan Poe and strange nocturnal happenings in Highgate cemetery.

I thought that folks here might like to know that Mark Valentine will give a talk on W.F. Harvey at the Halifax Ghost Story Festival.

I've already said this elsewhere Ray but I'm looking forward to this event and chatting with you. Robert Aickman has been a great influence on my own work.

Also... see you next week at Fantasycon. I've interviewed Lisa Tuttle for the souvenir programme and will get Guy's permission to post it here after the convention. I think many board members will be interested.
