Fogcon

[james_davis_nicoll]

The 2011 FOGcon will be held March 11-13 at the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway Hotel in San Francisco. Honored Guests include Pat Murphy and Jeff VanderMeer; Ann VanderMeer, editorial Honored Guest; and the late Fritz Leiber, posthumous Honored Guest. This year’s theme is The City in SF/F.

A shiny quatloo to any attendee who mentions Growth, innovation, scaling, and the pace of life in cities.

I'd love to read reports on this. I can't attend FOGcon myself, if only because it's on the wrong side of the border, but it sounds interesting.

Well, he did now and then do dark fantasy. Or was it, after all, fantasy?

Oo-er, oo-er...

Well, at least I have a 3,000 or so mile head start if he turns out to be hungry.

Given that you can actually take a walking tour of all the places mentioned in Our Lady of Sorrows, and that the mystic graffiti mentioned in the book existed before Leiber started writing it, I'd say his work is straight reportage. A lot like Lovecraft, in fact, for anyone who has ever spent time in New England.
