About this Event

Join local author Jack Mackay as we get well and truly in the mood for Halloween with a celebration of his brand new spine-chilling novel Gloam.

In a creaky old house, on a small, damp island, someone - or something - is waiting ...

Jack's debut novel for middle grade readers honours his great love for all things horror. At this super spooky event he'll talk about his favourite horror stories from Goosebumps to Stranger Things before reading from Gloam, and giving his top tips for writing the perfect fictional villain.

Suitable for age 9+
