Tales of the Weird: An Autumnal Festival

I’m looking forward to appearing at the British Library’s second annual Tales of the Weird festival, in an event that’s focusing on my new book for them, All the Fear of the Fair. Here are some details about the individual slot, though the whole weekend is packed full of some wonderful talks and panels:

Quotes by Edward Parnell (?)

“It's not the house that is haunted. It's me.
And I want to be; I have to be. Because if I give them up - if I stop looking back - everything that ever happened to us will cease to exist.”
― Edward Parnell, Ghostland: In Search of a Haunted Country
