    The Red Opera

    Centuries of war, death, artistic creation, fertility, famine, and magic have taken their toll on the old eldritch ways, forcing the barriers in some places to become rifts between worlds. The last bastions of connection to a fading world. None have grown as prominent as the Shadelands.

    The Dark Carnival

    Denizens of every kingdom or hovel from across the world turn upon their own for a myriad of reasons. For many, a path of solitude or revenge is an easy road to follow. Others, however, catch the eyes of creatures vastly more curious and open-minded.

Windycon
Rosemont, IL

This year’s theme, Sanctuary Among the Stars, was inspired by the countless alien worlds, distant civilizations, and unlikely alliances that fill the science fiction we love and by the people who gather here to celebrate them.

Across books, movies, and series, we are shown again and again that the universe is vast, strange, and beautifully varied. We meet beings from worlds unlike our own, speaking unfamiliar languages, carrying different histories, values, and ways of seeing reality itself. Yet the stories that stay with us are the ones where those differences do not divide, they connect.
