MagicCon 3 | Vortrag | Sagenhaft Eifel!

The somewhat different fantasy fun with Christian Humberg and Anika Klüver

Why can only Americans cool mysticism, and the German serial makers produce one ollen provincial thriller after another? This was also the question asked by writer Christian Humberg (“Star Trek Prometheus”, “Geek Pray Love”) and he became active himself without further ado. In his new book series Sagenhaft Eifel! he brings (child-friendly) magic into the pampas and horror out into the countryside.

In the lecture of the same name Sagenhaft Eifel! at MagicCon 8 Christian Humberg and lecturer Anika Klüver explain the backgrounds of the series, illustrated congenially by Star Trek illustrator Martin Frei, tell anecdotes about truly bizarre reading trips … and take their listeners into the legendary world of the German nowhere. Because country air has never been so exciting!

Caution: This panel awakens the imagination and strains the laughter muscles!
