Gamebook Friday: Jonathan Green at Fantasy Festival 2026

This weekend, Saturday 19th - Sunday 20th September 2026, I will be attending Fantasy Festival in Esbjerg, Denmark, as one of the Guests of Honour.

Fantasy Festival opens at 10:00am Saturday 19th September, with the official opening occuring from 10:20am-10:45am, and I will be there.

From 2:45pm-3:30pm, I will be talking to Morten Gottschalck in the Theater Hall, at the Music Hall Esbjerg, which will be followed by a signing at the gamebook stall in the foyer.

On Sunday 20th September, I will be joining Morten Gottschalck for the Fantasy Quiz, in the Meeting Hall at the Music Hall Esbjerg. This will again be followed by a signing at the gamebook stall in the foyer.

The Danish translation of my Fighting Fantasy gamebook Night of the Necromancer - GENFÆRDETS HÆVN! - is launching at the event, with publisher Faraos Cigarer, featuring brand new cover art by Henrik Exler, who was also at Fighting Fantasy Fest 6, recently.

So, if you are attending Fantasy Festival this weekend, and you see me there, do stop and say hello. Or should that be hej?

Gamebook Friday: JG to attend Fantasy Festival 2026

This autumn, I will be attending Fantasy Festival in Denmark. The event takes place in Esbjerg over the weekend of Saturday 19th - Sunday 20th September 2026.

Here I am, looming over the other Guests of Honour
like some kind of gamebook ghost.

While I am there I will be interviewed by Danish gamebook author and translator Morten Gottschalck, and I will be involved in a quiz as well.

Not only that, but one of my gamebooks, which has not yet been translated into Danish yet, will be released on Saturday 19th September 2026 - more on that later. So, over the course of the weekend you will find me signing copies of my books at the Faraos Cigarer stand.

Here I am, in one of the Faraos Cigarer shops in Copenhagen
last October when I visited Denmark for the first time.

If you're in Denmark and visiting Fantasy Festival 2026, do pop by and say hello.
