Artist Guests of Honour: Dave Carson
by admin on Mar.20, 2009, under Site News, WHC 2010
DAVE CARSON was born in Northern Ireland in 1955. He first discovered the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft when he came across 'The Lurking Fear' in a 1960s issue of The Magazine of Horror. He was hooked for life and has since become one of the genre's most acclaimed and respected illustrators of the author's work. It was probably in the pages of that same digest magazine that he first saw the artwork of Virgil Finlay and his personal favourite, Lee Brown Coye.

Author Guests of Honour: Tanith Lee
by admin on Feb.20, 2009, under Site News, WHC 2010
TANITH LEE was born in North London in 1947. Because her parents were professional dancers (ballroom, Latin American) and had to live where the work was, she attended a number of truly terrible schools, and didn't learn to read—she is also dyslectic—until she was almost eight-years-old. She finally mastered her reading only because her father taught her. This opened the world of books to her, and by the age of nine she was writing.
