Conquer your fear and come along to GenreCon’s panel on frightful fiction with Lauren Daniels, Josie Montano, Geneve Flynn and Zachary Ashford - celebrated authors of short stories, novels and poetry in genres from paranormal to gothic, folk to speculative, and all kinds of horror in between.

This All Come Back Now is the first-ever anthology of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander speculative fiction – a book written, curated, edited and designed by blackfellas, about blackfellas and for blackfellas. This All Come Back Now expands and subverts the expectations of speculative fiction to centre First Nations communities, cultures and creativity, and features many genres of spec fic, such as ghost stories, bush horror stories, urban fantasy, science fiction and many more imaginative and unsettling genres. Goori editor Dr Mykaela Saunders conceived of this anthology as a love letter to kin and country, to memory and to future-thinking.  

Joining Mykaela an award-winning Noongar writer Archie Weller and Kathryn Gledhill-Tucker, who are two of 21 contributors to This All Come Back Now, to discuss their stories in the anthology and their thoughts on the spec fic genre. 

There are endless ways to tell your story. Do you want to publish a novel, or send people on a wild investigation of clues across social media platforms? Words or images? Will you publish in print, digitally or in some other way? 

Join host and podcast writer Jess Forsayeth, as she discusses the different platforms for storytelling with Leanne Yong, multimedia storyteller and Jini Maxwell, creator and videogame writer.
