Twisted Tales at World Book Night

April 23rd is World Book Night and as part of Liverpool's celebrations there's a big event featuring all sorts of authors at Waterstones Liverpool One. We'll be there to close off the evening with some great Twisted Tales readings from Ramsey Campbell and Alison Littlewood.

The whole evening starts at 5pm, but the Twisted Tales segment will begin closer to 7pm.

Other events on the night include a quiz, a raffle with some great prizes (horror and otherwise), poetry readings, and a reading and Q+A with local favourite Maureen Lee.

The event is FREE to attend.

Part of the World Book Night celebration is the great book give-away, there are some great horror books in this year's list and we'll have some copies to give away on the night to the first few audience members to arrive.
