This past Friday Library Journal capped off it’s #LovecraftFridays discussion with a virtual roundtable. The panelists included were Alex Brown, Becky Spratford, Gabino Iglesias, Mary SanGiovanni, Steffan Triplett and Matt Ruff! Together they talked about the true meaning of Cosmic Horror, what fair representation looks like in both literature and media, as well as differences between the hit HBO show and the novel. There are also a few tips for librarians as well on how to introduce this growing genre into their community. Overall, it is something you do not want to miss. So, grab some snacks and enjoy.
