Writing the Occult: Relics Literature and Books

Writing the Occult explore relics with a mix of talks, interviews and workshops this May!

Those that came before us left traces of their lives, their interests, their beliefs, their customs. Some of it is buried deep in the ground, waiting to be dug up generations later by curious historians. Some of it is prized and treasured, presented proudly in golden boxes and put on display in churches, the mortal remains of the holiest of holy. And still more of it is intangible, the ephemeral hints that something might’ve been here before. Was that something good? Or does it linger with bad intentions?
Join us at the next Writing the Occult where we consider the case of Relics: whether the remains of saints or the tombs discovered by adventurers, the archaeological finds or the shadows in the landscape, we’ll consider those that came before and ask what we can learn from them, and how they can inspire us to create.
Speakers and full schedule to come.
Writing the Occult is a boutique series of events brought to you by the Society of Ink Slingers, in partnership with Alex Davis Events. Our approach is to bring together the fiction world with folklore and academia to bring a well-rounded view to a specific area of interest to both speculative fiction writers and those with a hankering for the esoteric.
Speaker bios and session details to come!
