About this Event

Read by the Dead brings some of the greatest horror authors back from beyond the grave to share their haunting stories once more.

On Thursday the 29 th of October, the People’s Hall will host:

● M. R James reading one of his most famous ghost stories;

● Mary Shelly retelling a haunting tale of transformation;

● Edgar Allan Poe performing some of his most haunting poems.

The perfect evening for fans of the spooky season. We hope to see you there.
