About

A chilling and thrilling evening of Horror fiction as David Barnett launches Twisted Pike, his long anticipated sequel to Folk Horror masterpiece Withered Hill in a discussion with Michael Stewart (Black Wood Women, Ill Will) about what makes a great horror story. Michael will also launch a seasonal ghost story  called 'The Ballad of Nancy Fullgood'. It's a small pocketbook and will be published in a special limited edition of 200, signed and numbered.

Tarot expert Sharon Dargue from Spooks will also be offering personal readings at the event  in our super spooky cellar.
