Join award-winning author Darren Simpson in a horror-themed workshop based on his new novel, LYKEWISE!
Participants will explore how the imposter genre dating back to folk tales is used today in the likes of horror movies, The Traitors, Among Us and TikTok trends, and will then work with Darren to drag Bloody Mary into the 2020s by inventing creepy smartphone rituals and invocations!
Don't look to closely into the mirror.
It may look back...
Dunn Caulkner is no stranger to scary stories. The village of Harrowmere is plagued by danger and the unexplained: foggy boglands, eerie wraithlights and the terrifying legend of Grasping Jack. So how could Dunn ever have known that the darkest threat of all would come from a looking glass?
No one questions the arrival of a travelling salesman practically giving away his mirrors. Nor do Dunn and his friends think there's any harm in toying with a mirror ritual said to reveal your true self. For what could be dangerous about a reflection? But then the attacks and disappearances begin, and Dunn starts to grasp how very wrong he was...
A fantastically chilling middle-grade novel about cursed mirrors, perfect for fans of Gloam and The Haunting of Aveline Jones!
