Hal Duncan


If you're reading this, you already know my bio, right? Anyhoo, yeah, I'll be on the bill, doing my reading thang. Come and enjoy!




Douglas Thompson


Glasgow born writer Douglas Thompson has a veritable raft of publications under his belt. Bursting off the starting blocks in 1989 with the Herald/Grolsh Award for best new writing, here’s how he describes his work;




“My writing seeks to defy traditional genre boundaries, but includes elements of Literary, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and Supernatural, thus is generally called “Slipstream”. Usually my own starting point however is simply the “Surreal”, i.e. a fiction that seeks to acknowledge the central role of the subconscious mind (dreams and fears) as the powerhouse of all imaginative and creative thought. “

And if that wasn't enough to tempt you through the door we'll be hosting a few distros too.
