The Lasting Influence of Stephen King
Stephen King has long been acknowledged as a Master of Horror. From bullied paranormal teenagers to vampires to the frightfully insane, his work has had a lasting and haunting impact on the genre. Panelists will discuss how King’s ideas and stories have influenced fantasy and horror over the years.

Neurodivergence in Fantasy
There’s a high incidence of neurodivergence amongst creatives, and they’re bit by bit chipping away at some of the less-than-stellar portrayals ADHD and autistic people have received in popular media over the years. Join our panel of neurodivergent individuals as they talk about what characters they love, which ones make them cringe, and the direction they’d like to see this representation take.
