Tales of the Weird: An Autumnal Festival

Here are some details about the individual slot, though the whole weekend is packed full of some wonderful talks and panels:

15:30 – 16:45, SUNDAY 2 NOV. ALL THE FEAR OF THE FAIR

Quotes by Edward Parnell (?)

“It's not the house that is haunted. It's me.
And I want to be; I have to be. Because if I give them up - if I stop looking back - everything that ever happened to us will cease to exist.”
― Edward Parnell, Ghostland: In Search of a Haunted Country
