“Cask of Amontillado” party at World Fantasy


Amal El-Mohtar We had a great time at the World Fantasy Convention, celebrating the release of the new issue of WEIRD TALES (#346) as well as our new trade paperback collection, Weird Tales: The 21st Century, Volume 1. The brilliantly creative crew at ASFA, the Association of Science Fiction & Fantasy Artists, hosted our party in their hotel suite, and it was a blast. Since WEIRD TALES was inspired in the first place by the stories of Edgar Allan Poe, we held a “Cask of Amontillado”-themed evening, where our guests could partake of the delicious sherry while being chained and bricked up for all eternity. Or something. Here are the photos, by Nivair H. Gabriel and Sean Wallace:
