Details

Celebrate Curdle Creek’s paperback launch with a night of reading, dancing, music, and ghost stories.
About this Event

Winner of the Shirley Jackson Award, Curdle Creek turns one and it’s time for the paperback launch. What better way to celebrate than a party with readings and ghosts? I’m putting the club back in book club with live music, readings, and a ghost-story open mic.

Haven’t read the book? No problem. I’ll read some of my favourite parts of the book. We’ll have live music and ghost stories. There will be a Q&A, A book bar to buy books and a bar to buy drinks.

For an up to 10-minute open mic slot, email Yvonne at [email protected]

About the book: Osira, a forty-five-year-old widow, is an obedient follower of the strict conventions of Curdle Creek, an all-Black town in rural America governed by a tradition of ominous rituals designed to keep the residents safe.

Curdle Creek has one particularly strict policy: one in, one out.

And one day, it is Osira's turn.

About the host: Yvonne Battle-Felton is an award-winning author, academic, editor, podcaster, host, creative producer, and writer. Her debut, Remembered (Dialogue Books, Blackstone Publishing) was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction (2019) and shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize (2020). Yvonne has six titles in Penguin Random House’s The Ladybird series. Yvonne is former Senior Commissioning Editor at Hachette’s John Murray Press and is the Academic Director of Creative Writing at Cambridge University. Winner of The Shirley Jackson Award (novel), Curdle Creek (2024 Dialogue Books, Henry Holt), a gothic horror inspired by Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery, is her second novel.
