I was lucky to recently have a Skype chat with Brian Evenson, who book after book, continues to be one of the most impressive writers out there. I’ve long been a fan for a very long time, and in the world of authors, Evenson is about as close to celebrity as I’m comfortable admitting is out there.

Here we discuss topics relating to his panel, extract below:

S115. Crime, Horror, Sci‐Fi, and Fantasy… Seriously. (Anthony Smith, Brian Evenson, Stephen Graham Jones, Tod Goldberg, Mark Smith, Seth Harwood) Six writers of genre fiction who also teach and/or have graduated from university creative writing programs discuss how they approach genre fiction as a serious literary pursuit rather than as a lesser form of fiction. In addition, they discuss attitudes towards genre fiction in the university and how those attitudes have changed over the years.

I want to personally thank Mr. Brian Evenson for taking time out of his day to chat with me. He has made this fanboy quite happy.

Be sure to visit his website for details about this amazing author.
