Excellent event in @waterstonesipswich.bsky.social last night, when @folklorepod.bsky.social talked about his latest book Britain's #Folklore Year, and cajoled me into doing some readings for his talk, which meant we could also chat a bit about our bestseller Dark Folklore. Great fun - thank you!

Spooky season is upon us, so what better time to pick up a fabulous and fresh modern take on #frankenstein by the author of bestselling Cinderella is Dead, Kalynn Bayron!

With an excellent twist and beautifully, hauntingly written, this will appeal to spooky teens and adults alike...

Love word games? Us too!

Players each give one clue about the mystery word on the card to their teammate. But as any duplicated answers don’t get revealed to the guesser, identifying that all-important word can be a whole heap of trouble in our new Game of the Month, JUST ONE!

What a lineup!

A devastating novel, an impeccably constructed thriller, a gripping dark fantasy, an extraordinary true story, an invaluable guide to financial freedom, an atmospheric YA fantasy, and an epic spooky children's adventure...
Which October Book of the Month will you choose?

So nice to see so many Twilight fans first thing on a Tuesday morning!

All the goodie bags are now gone, but we still have a few mini Bella and Edward posters, anniversary stickers and bookmarks to go with the new editions 😊

It's #Alchemised day!

This devastating dark fantasy has been causing quite a viral stir: a woman with missing memories fights to survive a war-torn world of necromancy & alchemy – & the man tasked with unearthing the deepest secrets of her past.
