If I can sell 100 tickets, you'll have a fucking BRILLIANT time listening to me talk about finding lost ghost stories and reading one and I'll be able to have a comfortable Xmas and make sure that most of January's bills are taken care of.
We'll be marking the release of this brand-new anthology of lost ghost stories, collated by acclaimed editor Johnny Mains, on the 18th December - just the thing to add some fear to your festivities... www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/illusions-... #ghoststory #ghoststories #anthology #fiction

Darkness In The Fields is always a fantastic dive into the secretive rituals of folk horror. For the upcoming Midwinter edition, I'll be asking a panel of brilliant Blood In The Bricks contributors about their thoughts on the genre and the inspiritation behind their contributions to the anthology.
Looking forward to my final folk horror event of the year with DARKNESS IN THE FIELDS: MIDWINTER 2, and a great line-up of talent joining us for the weekend on 6th and 7th December! www.eventbrite.com/e/darkness-i... #folkhorror #folklore #writing #writers #fiction

Maybe we first associate Christmas with peace and joy - but it does have a darker side too, which can be a great source of inspiration for writing! And Charlotte Baker will be exploring this in her two-week course, kicking off on the 1st December...
