28th October 2025 – Sobo: Sommelier – Southbourne
Get ready for a night of chills, thrills, and killer storytelling as we present our very first Halloween Panel — an evening dedicated to the darker side of fiction.
This October, our host will be guiding the conversation with a panel of horror and dark fiction authors, exploring fear, tension, and what it takes to truly unnerve a reader.
With:
Joseph Sale – has published more than 30 books, including The Book of Thrice Dead, Virtue’s End, Dark Hilarity, and The Claw of Craving. He is drawn to the baroque, the spiritual, and the mythic like a moth to flame.
Patrick Larsimont – whilst best know for his series of WW2 aviation thrillers, Patrick is joining our panel to talk about his first standalone novel, a paranormal military thriller ‘The Brookwood Boys’ about ghosts haunting a military cemetery.
Chris Harrison – a writer, producer, and author of the award winning Crooked Tales series. Fusing together classic themes of the supernatural and macabre with more contemporary urban mythology.
🎤 What to Expect:
An electrifying panel discussion about the craft of horror and psychological suspense — from creeping dread to full-blown terror. Whether you love a haunting atmosphere, a brutal twist, or a monster you can’t explain, there’ll be something here for every fan of the macabre.
