Join us for an evening with authors Kat Dunn and Heather Parry, to celebrate the paperback releases of their latest novels Hugerstone and Carrion Crow, just in time for spooky season! Both released in hardback earlier this year, these gothic gems exploring powerful female narratives were firm favourites of our booksellers here in Coventry, and we cannot wait to welcome Kat and Heather to the store.
The evening will consist of an interview with Kat and Heather, and an audience Q+A followed by a book signing. Copies of Kat and Heather's latest books will be availiable to purchase at the event, as well as copies of their wonderful previous novels Bitterthorn and Orpheus Builds a Girl. Our cafe will be open to serve drinks and snacks from 6pm till 6.30pm prior to the beginning of the talk as you settle in!
In Hungerstone, Kat recasts Sheridan le Fanu's Carmilla as a sensual sapphic chiller. Dunn's gothic delight sees a wealthy but unsatisfied couple fall prey to the bewitching charms of a vampiric temptress. Set against the violent wilderness of the Peaks and the uncontrolled appetite of the Industrial Revolution... for what do you hunger?
As mesmerizing as it is surreal, Carrion Crow is a haunting gothic tapestry; a gruesome, provocative, stylish fairytale exploring class and gender. Carrion Crowwill captivate you from the first sentence and haunt you long after the story ends...
