As Above So Below Emporium presents…

Here Be Monsters (and other beings)

Just after the summer solstice when the days start getting shorter again we invite you to join us for a cozy Sunday afternoon of dark fiction, fantasy and more. As Above So Below Emporium has teamed up with independent publisher Hic Dragones for a fantastic event of fiction, creative writing and glimpses into beyond the mundane.

Hic Dragones have published a number of short story anthologies, poetry collections and novels, covering a range of genres to delight their readers’ hearts. They are joined by local author Nancy Schumann who contributed to three Hic Dragones anthologies with light-hearted fantasy and dark fiction.

As Above So Below Emporium is a darkly elegant witchy emporium for experienced practitioners and curious folk looking for an authentic magickal experience. Owner Cat de Leon will also offer short readings and look into the tarot cards for anybody who fancies a peek behind the curtain.
