Darren Simpson — launch of Lykewise
Author Darren Simpson presents and reads from Lykewise, a chilling middle-grade horror novel, with discussion and refreshments at Five Leaves Bookshop
We welcome back Nottingham writer Darren Simpson to launch his new scary novel!
Don’t look too closely into the mirror. It may look back…
Dunn Caulkner is no stranger to scary stories. The village of Harrowmere is plagued by danger and the unexplained: foggy boglands, eerie wraithlights and the terrifying legend of Grasping Jack. So how could Dunn ever have known that the darkest threat of all would come from a looking glass?
No one questions the arrival of a travelling salesman practically giving away his mirrors. Nor do Dunn and his friends think there’s any harm in toying with a mirror ritual said to reveal your true self. For what could be dangerous about a reflection? But then the attacks and disappearances begin, and Dunn starts to grasp how very wrong he was…
A fantastically chilling middle-grade novel about cursed mirrors suitable for adults and young adults, following Darren's earlier gruesome Thirst
There will be short readings, some discussion, refreshments, and cake!
This event is free but booking essential.
