The BFS is excited to announce our next in-person Reading event, The Things that Haunt Us: Writing the Gothic Today.
Enjoy an evening of spooktacular storytelling and spine-chilling hauntings with the British Fantasy Society and Waterstones Reading! Join authors MK Hardy, Marisa Linton, and Jennifer Thorne as they chat to moderator Greta Colombani about occult mysteries, the eerie presences and sinister forces that lurk just beyond the thin veil of ordinary life, and the enduring power of the Gothic to expose and explore the darkness outside and inside of us.
Author Q&A plus book signings after the panel.
