Event DescriptionSwill is a magazine. A Swill reading is an event: no rules, no limits, just good writers reading their work. There may be sex, violence is pretty much guaranteed, and that’s just the audience.

Event Readers
Sean Craven
Sean Craven is regarded as a crime writer, a science fiction writer, and a horror writer. He earned this reputation with his memoir work. His solo gallery show was referred to as the only authentic current psychedelic art by a writer who worked with Terence McKenna and Alexander Shulgin, and those pieces were the subject of an interview on a Scientific American website. He's performed with Margaret Cho, who called him 'too intelligent to be sane' in her first book. He is catnip for shrinks, because most people as crazy as he is aren't fun to be around. And he may be the world's nicest nihilist.
