Back in April, we launched the debut Ghoulish Book Festival. People visited from all over the country to celebrate everything spooky with us. Check out Teresa Ardrey’s delightful write-up of the event over on Ladies of Horror Fiction.
Also, ICYMI, we’ve slowly been uploading the panels and readings to our YouTube channel. Check them out HERE.
It was one of the best weekends of our lives, and we are desperate to repeat it. Not only repeat it but make it even better. And longer. Two days simply were not enough, we think. Which is why we’re bringing the festival back next year, and this time we’re expanding it to three days.
Three days and three floors of horror, baby!
The Ghoulish Book Festival is RETURNING! Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell your lovers. Tell your neighbors. Tell everybody. Scream it from the rooftops. Post about it on social media. Call your congressmen.
Our spooky book festival will be occurring on April 14, 15, and 16 of 2023.
We will be located at the same venue as last time, in downtown San Antonio.
We will have new guests of honor, new panels, new events, and other fun surprises–all of which we will announce in due time.
Until then, we are officially open for BADGES and VENDORS.
Note to vendors: Due to limited space, we will be taking applications for tables through July 30, 2022. ** EDIT: Due to an overwhelming amount of vendor requests the last two days, we will be closing for requests earlier than originally stated. The cut-off date is now this Friday, June 24th. Sorry for any inconvenience. Remaining open any longer would just result in disappointing more people with further rejections. Those accepted for vendor space will be contacted in July.
Also, just like last year, the bookstore section of the festival will be free & open to the public. Badges are only necessary for those interested in attending panels, readings, and other fun events. Plus, they go a long way to helping us fund the actual festival. These things are, uhhhh…not cheap!
