We present a construction of superconformal field theories for manifolds with Spin(7) holonomy. Geometrically these models correspond to the realization of Spin(7) manifolds as anti-holomorphic quotients of Calabi-Yau fourfolds. Describing the fourfolds as Gepner models and requiring anomaly cancellation we determine the resulting Betti numbers of the Spin(7) superconformal field theory. As in the G_2 case, we find that the Gepner model and the geometric result disagree.

For G2 and SU(3) string backgrounds with NS flux, the scalar torsion class controls the first-order deformation of the worldsheet super W-algebra couplings away from special holonomy.
