I've spent the last few days chatting with the Guests of Honour at this year's @britfantasysoc.bsky.social Fantasycon, which happens in Glasgow next month. My word, these are some impressive, impressive people. My chat with them was silly, but they'll get serious(ish) at the con. Come join us?

The background looks like old parchment paper, and illustrations of tentacles peek out from the sides. In the bottom half are the photos of the four guests of honour at this year's Fantasycon in Glasgow, to be held 9-11 October. They are: V Castro, horror writer; Francesca T Barbini, publisher; Peter F Hamilton, scifi writer; and the artist Chris Baker, aka Fangorn.
