"Anthology heresies: join this table at your own risk"
The world is ending and it’s only a matter of time before everything collapses. Is this a true sensation or merely a widespread fear? And, furthermore: could it be that we deserved it? Or that we're apparently imagining it? Five authors will explore how we reached this point and what lies in store afterwards, in competitively irreverent and subversive reflections and narratives. So, we’ll have two contributing authors to the ¿Vamos a morir? anthology: the one who opens it with La llegada de la horda, Sergi Viciana, and who is one of the country's great zombie experts; and Alfredo Álamo, who’ll be speaking here about mass control and post-truth, although when writing fiction he goes in for the ever extravagant and undisciplined bizarro genre. Also taking part will be Beatriz Aguilar Gallo from the Canary Islands, who is putting the final touches to an anthology of tales in the genre while contributing to the collective anthology Arcana sectarium; she will be joined by fellow writer of Frankensteinian sects and fears, Jordi Escoin, a member too of the Frikípuls group, also contributor to the anthology Arcana sectarium, and recent winner of a large number of competitions. Could it get any better? The final person joining the round table is comic-strip artist and writer Sergio Sánchez Morán, whose Érase una puta vez and Las historias de la hermana Herminia link two vitriolic works, one of which is, to be exact, an imaginary anthology of very dark children’s tales.
