The Return of the Lovecraft Convention: Mythos Con 2011

A new convention celebrating the life and works of H.P. Lovecraft is scheduled for early next year. Mythos Con, which has already locked in appearances by a large list of prestigious writers, artists, and film makers, will be held in Phoenix, Arizona, January 6-9, 2011. Like many other thematic conventions, it's slated to feature art, merchants, movies, panels, and games galore.

This is the largest effort at organizing an explicitly Lovecraftian convention for some time. On its surface, it's reminiscent of the Lovecraftian NecronomiCons that were held about ten years ago. Only the annual H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival has stood in as a major Lovecraft convention in recent years, and Mythos Con is sure to give it some friendly competition.

Updates and autopsies of this promising convention will be provided as more information becomes available. Consider venturing to this mass Lovecraftian gathering, if you're able.
