This is storytelling as it once was - eerie & immersive.

Not many #WorldBookDay2026 events were chilling stories for adults, but that is exactly what happened when The Librarian visited the newly refurbished Wombourne Library, pictured here with staff still wearing their #WorldBookDay costumes.

A welcome return to #Cannock and another sold-out reading of 'Figure on the Pier' in partnership with #Staffordshire Libraries.
50 people jumping out of their seats is quite a sight!
This outing marked yet another literary event in support of the #NationalYearofReading2026.

1/2 πŸ“š I had a fabulous time last night watching POCK, the latest dark tale to escape the vaults of Weeping Bank Library, at the Old Red Lion Playhouse in Islington. Pictured here with β€˜The Librarian’ himself. A great reminder of how powerful live performance can be.

A creepy and uncanny Sunday night witnessing the reading of two Gothic tales.

The first tale is a ghost story, in the vein of Edith Nesbit and M.R. James.

The second segment is about witchcraft that fits well in the folk horror category.

Planning something VERY special for 22 December 2026, the 50th anniversary of The Signalman.

Clear your diaries and for God’s sake, clear the way.

Always great to catch up with David Morrissey and get some excellent ghost story recommendations. A fantastic day in Featherstone meeting library champions - David's talk had everyone motivated and asking pertinent questions about the craft of acting.
