It was boiling. it was busy. it was bookish. It was brilliant. Here's my 2015 YALC in pictures.
Olympia or Pandemonium? The lower reaches were as packed, smelly, noisy and labyrinthine as the capital of Hell, but I think a liiiiiittle more fun was being had. Probably.
The YALC panels were fantastic. One of my favourites: the very entertaining opening panel, on horror, with Dawn Kurtagich, Darren Shan, Lou Morgan, Will Hill and Matt Whyman.
Much excellent cos was played.

There were lots of ace workshops. Here's Dawn Kurtagich and I with Anna McKerrow at Anna's fab Writing with the Tarot workshop, where she inspired me to write about voodoo shops, the cost of magic, and how everyone's scared of clowns.
  I found a Blade! |   ...and Nikki Sheehan found a dude to act as pretty good promo for her forthcoming book Swan Boy. |
 There comes a time in all con-goers lives when they must slope off for a mojito or three. With Kat Ellis, Dawn Kurtagich, EM Castellan, Mareike Nijkamp, Luna, Sarah Benwell and Lucinda Murray. |  Can't imagine why I bought this the next day. |
 Favoruite purchase? Favourite purchase. |  Tatum out. See you all again next year! |
