Neil Gaiman Peter Straub Gary K. Wolfe

Panelists will discuss their work in the broader context of genre writing. They will examine the current state of horror and fantasy writing, the "New Wave Fabulists" movement, and why Wisconsin has inspired such notable horror-both real and in fiction. A moderated discussion with questions from the audience will follow short introductions.

Co-sponsored by the Wisconsin Book Festival, a program of the Wisconsin Humanities Council. Visit the Wisconsin Book Festival website for more information: www.wisconsinbookfestival.org.
