OLD CALLSRaymond Carver has stated in his essay "On Writing" that "I like it when there is some feeling of threat or sense of menace in short stories. I think a little menace is fine to have in a story". In keeping with the 2010 convention theme, the IRCS invites papers for a panel on terror/menace in the works and/or life of Raymond Carver. The topic is not limited to a discussion of Carver's short stories; panelists are invited to consider any aspect of terror relating to his fiction, poetry, film adapatations, life and times.
