Calling all horror fans, dark fantasy readers, sci-fi enthusiasts, and aspiring writers!

Join us on June 13th for the official Texas Horror Literary Festival Pre-Show Event! This special gathering is your chance to get a taste of what’s coming at the Texas Horror Literary Festival before the main event takes over the Irving Convention Center on June 27–28.

Meet talented independent authors, discover new books, explore dark and speculative fiction, and connect with fellow readers who share your passion for horror, fantasy, science fiction, and all things strange and mysterious. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the genre or just looking for your next great read, there’s something for everyone.

The Texas Horror Literary Festival is one of Texas’ premier celebrations of independent storytelling, featuring author meet-and-greets, panels, workshops, artists, vendors, giveaways, and more. Our Pre-Show Event brings that same spirit to Madness Games & Comics, offering a fun and welcoming opportunity to meet creators and become part of the community before the festival begins.

Come discover your next favorite author, support independent creators, and help us kick off an incredible month of horror and dark fiction.
