If you love all things spooky and spine-tingling, you're in the write place! Come share with us your books and zines, your poetry and prose, your horrifying arts and handicrafts.
Only have one or two books to sell? To make this event accessible to debut writers and smaller-scale publishers, we're offering a wider range of table sizes than our usual markets, with half-tables starting at just $30.
Have a lot to say? We're also going to be hosting a few panels on topics like queer horror, monsterfuckers, and horror DIY. Sign up as a speaker here!

Airbrush Art at UF: Celebrating Gator Spirit and a Historic Invention!
We love the Florida Gators! In fact, we've visited nine times over the years, each visit filled with warm welcomes as we airbrush swag for the students.
Did you know? While diving into our memories at UF, I discovered that Gatorade was invented right there in a university lab, sparking an entire industry of sports drinks. Pretty cool, huh?
