Brit Horror Fic

British horror fiction has recently soared in popularity to a level not seen since the 1970's and days of James Herbert. Authors such as Adam Neville and F.G. Cottam are bringing the own brand of horror to a new generation of readers. However as part of the annual Paranormal Week local readers are in for a treat as Halton Libraries bring you the best of both worlds.

Halton Libraries in partnership with the organisation Twisted Tales who promote the very best of 21st century horror are thrilled to be hosting 'An Evening of Occult Horror' with one of the masters of British horror Ramsey Campbell. Also appearing are two of the most exciting of the new breed of horror writers Adam Neville and John Reppion.

A review of Adam Neville's latest book ‘The Ritual appeared in the ‘The Guardian’ and said 'This novel grabs from the very first page, refuses to be laid aside, and carries the hapless reader, exhausted and wrung out, to the very last sentence... Superb.'

The Ritual by Adam Neville
The event takes place on Thursday 27th October from 7pm at Halton Lea Library, Runcorn. The event is free but you must reserve your ticket by e-mailing paranormalweek@gmail.com
