Phantom Hearts is a graphic novel with a supernatural twist and fantastic artwork by Sarah Maxwell – a sapphic, haunting, coming of age romance and a thrilling murder mystery.  When Malia meets Keezy they start to uncover the secrets behind a school bus crash and Malia begins to see ghosts … Will Malia find time to flirt with Keezy when pursued by the restless spirits of her dead classmates?

Rosie Talbot is the bestselling author of Sixteen Souls and Twelve Bones.  A lover of the strange, the magical and the downright spooky, Rosie writes contemporary fantasy and horror books.  Like her, all her stories are very queer.    

Sarah Maxwell is an American comic artist and illustrator with a portfolio ranging across many genres and styles. Clients include The New York Times, Hachette UK and Wired Magazine. She tattoos in her spare time and loves comics, flowers and all things medieval.

Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson is a Sunday Times bestselling author and first winner of Future Worlds Prize for SFF writers of colour.  Her book, The Principle of Moments, is an epic sci-fi fantasy.

Books will be on sale at the event and can also be ordered here.
