Arise and join us at Blackwell's as we explore dark and fascinating interpetations of The Gothic. We'll be filling the venue's labyrinthine halls with shadowy figures and haunting images.

The evening features a selection of mysterious figures from literature, art and film, all eager to deliberate the most classically terrifying works of fantasy and horror. Guests include Christopher Fowler, Tanith Lee, Jon Courtenay Grimwood, Marcus Hearn, S.D. Crockett, Suzanne McLeod, Jonathan Rigby, James Pearson, Emma Vieceli, Joel Meadows and John Kaiine.

There will be an introductory conversation between Christopher Fowler and Marcus Hearn and a short reading from Jon Courtenay Grimwood, so please arrive promptly. The rest of the evening will be given over to mingling, ogling, friendly discussion and sampling The Kraken's finest rum.
