Just when you thought it was safe, the terror returns!
Beneath the streets of Newcastle is the historic Victoria Tunnel. Once used for moving coal, then as an air raid shelter, it has now been turned to a far more unsettling purpose… poetry!
Join Lewis Brown and the incredible Hellpoet for an hour of haunting verse and bone-chilling tales. Inspired by terrors both modern and ancient, you’re in for a real Halloween treat in a venue like no other.

The Hellpoet is your average boy next door... if you live next door to a haunted theatre. Hailing from the North East, he has been spotted at poetry nights across the North of England... but you may also recognise him as the queer, trans, British-Bengali nightmare that the government warned you about. With cutting, Brechtian humour, and the delivery of a fervent preacher, his work will comfort the macabre sensibility in you... or, delight in making you uncomfortable. His Jhalak Prize-nominated, debut chapbook, 'Alternative Sermons', is available now, from Written Off Publishing.

Lewis Brown (he/him) is a writer, performance poet and facilitator in Newcastle. He has won poetry slams in England and Scotland, and had works published in Far Off Places, The Cadaverine and Quotidian Literary Magazine. He writes about horror, comedy and queerplatonic love, whatever else is currently producing serotonin.
You can follow his exploits at @lewisbrownpoet, or on his website lewisbrownpoet.com.
