Instructor News

TheMonstrous

Ellen Datlow (who has taught Clarion West a number of times, as well as editing Telling Tales) had a new anthology launch in October: The Monstrous. “These electrifying tales redefine monsters from mere things that go bump in the night to inexplicable, deadly reflections of our day-to-day lives. Whether it’s a seemingly devoted teacher, an obsessive devotee of swans, or a diner full of evil creatures simply seeking oblivion, the monstrous is always there—and much closer than it appears.”

Appearances

Curtis Chen (CW ’14) will be doing a number of panels at OryCon 37, November 20-22. You can find the schedule of where he will be and when on his Web site.
