Texas Horror Lit Fest returns to Irving — two days celebrating horror, science fiction, fantasy, and dark fiction.
The heart of the weekend is the festival floor, where you'll meet the people behind the books. Bring yours to be signed. Ask about the work — people here love talking about it. Expect your TBR pile to grow.
Both days bring panels and readings on the craft and business of dark fiction. The full schedule arrives closer to the festival.
If you want to play along, the Literary Quest runs throughout the weekend — an interactive track with prizes for participants.
This festival belongs to readers as much as writers.
