On Bookshop Day, here are a few I've visited recently. Blackwells Manchester @blackwellsmcr.bsky.social, Waterstones branches in Oldham, Trafford Centre, Bury.
A great evening @blackwellsmcr.bsky.social ...
The fact that @talkscaredpod.bsky.social and @manylittlewords.bsky.social are amazing insightful speakers, as well as super talented horror writers is probably not fair!
Stoked to have had the pleasure to attend tonight's sold out event π€
Thanks!
So looking forward to seeing @talkscaredpod.bsky.social and @manylittlewords.bsky.social at @blackwellsmcr.bsky.social tonight and getting my clutching hands on their brand new books tonight-
Good Boy, and Itch.
Expecting pearls of wisdom π€
