Bonus video alert! We went to GollanczFest 2024, the annual sci-fi/fantasy/horror convention run by industry giant @GollanczBooks. In addition to buying a lot of books, getting an equally large number signed, and getting to attend some fascinating author panels, we were lucky enough to get 20 minutes in the company of Lord Grimdark himself, Joe Abercrombie, tête-a-tête.
