The event at Derby QUAD on September 19 will feature acclaimed folk horror author Thomas Olde Heuvelt, multi-award winning fantasy and science-fiction novelist Adrian Tchaikovsky, bestselling ghost story author Laura Purcell and Clarke Award-winning science-fiction writer and popular fantasty novelist joining for headline interview slots.
