A surprise visit to Codsall Library with @fionacumminsauthor.bsky.social before meeting two reading groups to discuss the gripping 'A Boy Called Saul' part of the @readingagency.bsky.social #QuickRead campaign. Fiona enthralled both groups with a lively discussion of writing and journalism.

Phenomenally excited to be one of the headline speakers at the next UK Ghost Story Festival in Derby. Sharing the bill with people like Catriona Ward is just incredible, and I can't wait to see the full line up.

The Librarian meets cursed storyteller @adamzed.bsky.social after his captivating @tbodal.bsky.social show at @oldjointstock.bsky.social in #Birmingham.

Still some tickets left for tonight's performance, so don't miss out! And try to ignore those shadowy hands reaching out for you to join them!

What does The Librarian of #WeepingBank do on a rare night off? He goes to see master storyteller @adamzed.bsky.social bring two chilling @tbodal.bsky.social tales to #Birmingham.

There are tickets left for both tonight & tomorrow, if you feel like you need a good scare. You won't be disappointed.

A moment of calm for The Librarian before the audience arrives at #Perton Library.

"You can hear echoes of M. R. James here," writes Steve Kinrade for Liverpool Noise, "but also something newer — a modern anxiety that hums beneath the surface".

Catching up with Russ Litten is a highlight, as always.

Russ is an exceptional writing mentor, bringing the very best out of reluctant & established writers.

His latest book 'The Crime Writer' has been a popular loan here at Weeping Bank & led to very interesting discussions at the last book club.

Read our interview with Liverpool Noise about our 30 Oct visit to Unity Theatre, Liverpool to provide a perfectly chilling story for Halloween.

We also give a shout out for The Reader's 'Reading Heroes' programme.
