Writing the Gothic Today: Jennifer Thorne, MK Hardy & Marisa Linton

Waterstones in Reading is hosting a panel on the Gothic on Wednesday 28 October, with Jennifer Thorne, MK Hardy and Marisa Linton coming in to talk through it. The session is called The Things that Haunt Us: Writing the Gothic Today, and it's being put on by the bookstore together with the British Fantasy Society.

The three of them will be discussing the Gothic as it stands now, rather than just looking back at the classics. The conversation is built around that title, The Things that Haunt Us, so it should be as much about the ghosts and anxieties that still work today as it is about the tradition they're drawing from. It's a panel discussion, which means they'll be talking among themselves first, and then it opens up to a Q&A where you can ask your own questions.

After the talk, there's a signing, so you can get your books signed by the authors. Waterstones will have books available to buy on the night, so you don't need to have yours sorted in advance if you're coming along without one.

It starts at 6:30 PM at Waterstones in the United Reform Building, 89a Broad Street, Reading RG1 2AP. Tickets are £6.
