GUEST REVEAL: My first guest for Series 5 of The Ghost Story Book Club is the incredible Julia Armfield (Our Wives Under the Sea, Salt Slow, Private Rites). It was such a pleasure to chat to Julia - I'm a huge fan of her work. Out next Wednesday!

Hello! This month I'm doing TWO of my live-streamed ghost stories. They'll be over on my Patreon and you can watch both for about £3. Have a read and please do join me...

#ghoststories #horror #newwriting #patreon #ghost #chilling #uncanny

Screenshot which reads: Hi everyone! Adam here. This month we're doing TWO online live-streamed stories - SHIRLEY'S MONSTER and MIRRORMAN. These stories will be exclusively streamed on my Patreon. I would love you to join me.

The lowest tier is just £3 per month and you can cancel/leave any time. So even if you only join for this month, attend the two stories and leave, you're getting incredible value.

Patreon is a brilliant way to support me and to help me continue creating stories and events. You'll also get access to loads of audio stories and creative writing workshops, included in every tier.

So, please join me today! ALSO you can get a FREE TRIAL for a week!

On Tuesday 10th, we've got some horror and haunting coming up! Erin E. Adams and @riverssolomon.bsky.social Solomon will be discussing their novels with Jodie Matthews. Both novels blew me away - the horror of the supernatural and the very real horror of racist small-town America. Can't wait!!
