There's a full account of Noose & Gibbet's attendance at the event elsewhere in the site, but it's safe to say that the various panels that Johnny chaired were great fun, well-attended and stuffed with great names from the Pan Book Of Horror Stories history, all of whom were witty, knowlegeable and hugely entertaining. Thanks to everyone who appeared in the panels or attended them in the audience.
The signing of Noose & Gibbet's first publication 'Back From The Dead - The Legacy of the Pan Book of Horror Stories' was especially pleasing, with lots of copies sold (get yours soon if you don't want to miss out!) and the reaction to the book has been extremely positive with good reviews and complimentary feedback.
Here's hoping that Noose & Gibbet manage to make it to World Horror 2011 in Texas (www.whc2011.org) - and that the next WHC that comes to Britain is sooner rather than later!
Just a few days to go!
There's less than a week to go now until the World Horror Convention opens in Brighton.
