Wed 23 Oct, 6pm - 8pm
MODERN GOTHIC (Fly On The Wall Press, Oct ’24) invites ghoulish readers on a chilling journey through captivating, nightmarish tales; where they will encounter sinister landlords, ethereal housemates and a glass-encased jungle built by an eccentric father. A collection that blurs the lines between dreams and reality, weaving a tapestry of macabre encounters and festering secrets…
We’re delighted to be celebrating the launch of MODERN GOTHIC at the Bluecoat (School Lane, L1 3BX) on Wednesday, 23rd October at 6pm with contributing author Lauren Archer and friend of the shop / pro-goth Alyssa Lloyd. Lauren is a writer of the gothic, surreal and strange based in Liverpool, UK. Her short story 'Out of Water' was published by Crow and Cross Keys literary journal. In 2022, her short story 'The Allotment' was longlisted for the Mslexia Short Story Prize. Alyssa hosts Book Club in the Pub and - along with Lauren - the small-press focused inclusive book club Feminist Fiction.
We hope you can join us for this seasonally-appropriate spookfest where Lauren and Alyssa will dive deeply into what constitutes modern gothic literature...
