DARK ART & PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
For many years the HorrorFest organisers wanted to incorporate a dark art and -photography chapter
to the
event's ever expanding scope (doing it on a small scale in 2006). We met up with experienced curator
Andrew Lamprecht and all looked very promising. But unfortunately the exhibition venue's availability fell through.
So, be prepared for its full initiation in 2013.
Stay tuned for updates on submission details and more.

With the next Bloody Parchment live fiction reading event again set to kick off the
South African HORRORFEST-ivities in the last week of October, here's some more good news:
eKhaya, the digital imprint of Random House Struik, is delighted to announce the publication of Bloody Parchment: Hidden Things, Lost and Other Stories.
Bloody Parchment is the literary component of the annual South African HorrorFest held in Cape Town, South Africa, each October. The Bloody Parchment short story competition was established in 2010. Edited by prolific Cape Town writer and editor Nerine Dorman, this Bloody Parchment collection of the stories from the 2011 short story submissions, include Brett Bruton, Jenny Robson, Mico Pisanti, Lee Mather, Stacey Larner, Toby Bennett, SL Schmitz, Benjamin Knox, Austin Malone and Joan De La Haye. The authors of the collection represent a fine international mix of writers from South Africa, the United States, the United Kingdom, Botswana and Australia.
With the success of films like District 9 and Lauren Beukes’s novel Zoo City, the burgeoning South African genre scene is coming to hungry international attention. eKhaya believes that the Bloody Parchment short story competition is the ideal hothouse to nurture new international genre voices and to encourage cross-pollination between emerging South African and overseas talent, and ultimately develop and encourage indigenous horror stories that appeal to a broad international market.
Bloody Parchment is the sort of cutting-edge book eKhaya is looking to publish in its savvy, electronic format and we look forward to a productive association with the South African HorrorFest.
Bloody Parchment is now available at a recommended retail price of just R70. It will be available as a PDF and ePUB from South African online retailers Kalahari.net and Exclus1ves.com, and from Amazon.com internationally.
Print copies of Vol 2 will be ready for the 2012 HorrorFest!
