Grab a drink, bring some nibbles and join us for a spooky themed book club where we’ll be talking about Edith Nesbit’s horror short story, “The Shadow”. This unsettling tale deals with the dangers of telling a ghost story after the excitement of a ball. The book club will be held via Zoom on Thursday 11th November from 7 pm - 8.30 pm, hosted by our friends at Libreria Bookshop. There will be some time at the end to share real life ghost stories of your own…
Our friends at Handheld Press are kindly offering readers 10% on their fantastic collection of stories encompassing supernatural, horror, science fiction, fantasy and the Gothic titled Women’s Weird, Strange Stories by Women, 1890 -1940 edited by Melissa Edmundson, from which our story is taken. Purchase the book via the Handheld Press online shop and enter code ‘EDITH’ at checkout.
As Handheld Press has kindly made the story available to us digitally, a copy of the pdf will be sent to you following booking. Otherwise, to reserve your free ticket, please email us at cunningfolkmagazine@gmail.com, with ‘Cunning Folk Book Club’ in the subject line. This will be a free event, though donations are welcome and will help us keep this going. Donations are accepted via our Paypal (cunningfolkmagazine@gmail.com).
