This week, I’m winging my way to Aberdeen to take part in a panel at Granite Noir 2024.

Exploring the ‘Unsettling, Unnerving, [and] Sublime’, we’ll be talking bodies, weirdness, and the dark, twisty things at the heart of creepy storytelling.

Here’s the event description:

Three writers whose books leave you with that brilliant creeped out feeling only a great book can create!

As a child, David could tell something was wrong. Blending horror and literary fiction, Mothtown is the strange new novel from celebrated author Caroline Hardaker.

Weak Teeth by Lynsey May is a wonderfully astute portrait of a messed-up family – Ellis’s world spins out of control. She’s dogged by toothache and somehow she’s found herself stalking her ex’s new lover.

Camilla Grudova’s latest collection The Coiled Serpent gathers surreal and absurd stories and we wonder if they’re actually very far from our own realities at all.

Hope to see you there in Aberdeen!
