Unsung Live 4
Thanks to everyone who came down to Unsung Live 4 last night at The Star of Kings. Fresh off the back of the Nine Worlds convention, it was great to see so many people still up for spending their Tuesday night in a pub listening to speculative short fiction.
That was the Nine Worlds that was
We’ve just returned from great weekend at the Nine Worlds convention! It was a wonderful few days spent meeting other editors, publishers, readers, as well as fans celebrating every aspect of geek culture that you can imagine. We were impressed by the costumes (especially No Face!); humbled by people’s kind comments; inspired by the talks and discussions; heartened by packed rooms of people engaging actively with writers; and quite hungover come Sunday morning.
Unsung at Nine Worlds!
We are delighted to say that we will be at the upcoming Nine Worlds Convention at Novotel London West in Hammersmith, 12-14 August 2016!
We'll have our stall there so come say hi to George and Gary, and of course pick up some Unsung titles.
Unsung authors will be speaking on panels at Nine Worlds so here's a list of events featuring Oliver Langmead, Ian Hocking and Aliya Whiteley, plus editor George Sandison
What We're Reading: July 2016

Unsung Live #4: Tuesday 16th August, RSVPs open
Tuesday 16th August, 7pm
126 York Way, London N1 OAX
After the packed-out success of Unsung Live #3 we're happy to announce our return to The Star of Kings for our fourth evening of storytelling for fans of the best in contemporary speculative fiction.
Seeing the Great God Pan
Fiction at it’s best should be an exploration of occult heritage, and freed from the shackles of strict realism, speculative fiction can really take the ideas and run with them.
The Song Doesn't Remain the Same
It’s no revelation to say contemporary music includes short stories, that the lyrics cast everything from the emotion of a breakup to complete stories. But of particular interest are the ones that cast a complete narrative to song. We’re talking beginning, middle, end stuff.
What we're reading: June 2016
Gary and George share what they've been reading, including neo-noir, the green man, ghosts, Whistable, a trip to the mountains, mind reading technology and the history of the Guggenheim gallery.
