WEIRD TALES fans will be intrigued by two unique events taking place in the greater New York City area the weekend of Feb. 8-9. First — and we are absolutely not making this up — there’s the Wicked Winter Renaissance Pirate Ninja Lovecraftian Faire in Edison, N.J., which will turn the traditional Renaissance festival on its head, then inside-out, then dress it in a corset, wrap the whole thing up in extradimensional alien tentacles, and shoot some blackmail photos. Meanwhile, across the water in Manhattan proper, a magnificent assemblage of both Victorian and 1920s-era strangeness will coalesce at the Dances of Vice Festival: two nights of music, magazines and fancy period dress headlined by that most weirdly beautiful of all contemporary cello ensembles, Rasputina. WEIRD TALES will be on hand with magazines at both events — at the Wicked Faire on Friday night and Saturday, and at Dances of Vice on Saturday night. Come out and have a magnificent time!
