Cherie Priest

Come experience an evening of horror and laughs!

Folks on the Crypticon Board are working hard to make the con the best it can be. For this reason, they are doing a special event for horror fans in advance of the convention itself.

This fundraising event will not only raise money for the convention, but it will show how enthusiastic Seattle fans can be about their horror!

So! Come on out! If you love horror, love horror writers, and love horror books, show your support!

Two lovely and talented horror writers have agreed to come out and read to us.

Cherie Priest has a full publication list that includes the novel Fathom, published in 2008 by Tor. She is an associate editor at Subterranean Press. They've recently released Cherie's Those Who Went Remain There Still, a novel. Her short stories have appeared in Apex Digest, Subterranean Magazine, Noctem Aeternus, The Edge of Propinquity, and the anthology Mythic Delirium, among others.
