The San Francisco Bay Area convention FOGcon 8 has selected the late Thomas M. Disch as their Honored Ghost. This years more traditional,  living Honored Guests include Andrea Hairston and Ada Palmer.

Friends of the Genre (FOGcon) is a literary-themed San Francisco Bay Area SF/F con in the tradition of Wiscon. Each year we focus on a new theme in speculative fiction and invite Honored Guests ranging from writers to scientists to artists. We build community, exchange ideas, and share our love for the literature of imagination.

FOGcon 8 takes place on March 9-11 in Walnut Creek, CA.
