An Evening celebrating Northern Gothic with Andrew Michael Hurley and Michael Stewart

In Halloween week, two writers at the pinnacle of their craft explore myth, place and meaning and our darkest imaginings.

Two writers get together to discuss all things folk horror, macabre and menace! We can’t wait for this meeting of minds as these two authors chat and tell us more about their new books and the work that goes into researching and writing them.

This event sees the return of the multi-award winning ‘Master of Menace’ Andrew Michael Hurley to tell us about ‘Saltwash’, a sinister seaside tale of regret, remorse and grief. Set in a decaying hotel and with a cast of uncanny characters, this is Hurley at his dark, folkloric best.

Alongside Andrew, is Michael Stewart whose new novel Black Wood Women is set against the turbulent backdrop of 17th-century Yorkshire. This spellbinding story explores themes of persecution and survival, through the story of Caragh, a young Irishwoman fleeing persecution. Blending historical realism with an evocative feminist narrative, the story examines themes of belonging, identity, and resilience.
