When : 18th December 2006 - 8:00pm
Where : Central Library
Price : £5.00

This Christmas Central Library and Comma Press invite you to a reading that will haunt you all the way through yuletide. In the great tradition of M.R. James,  who composed stories especially for his pre-xmas 'entertainments',  writers from a host of different disciplines have come together to answer the question: What scares us in the contemporary world?

This special event launching Comma's new horror series, Phobic, will take place in a unique setting deep in bowels of Central Library: in its never-before-seen labyrinthine stacks. Guest readers will include the master of modern horror himself, Ramsey Campbell, and award-winning scriptwriter Robert Shearman (author of Doctor Who's Hugo Award shortlisted 'Last Dalek' episode). Other special guests to be announced.
Bring a torch, and all the courage you can muster.

Tickets are £5 (including £5 off the cost of the book).

Places are limited. To book email [email protected] (leaving your name and address) or call 0779 256 447.

Copies of Phobic can be ordered in time for Christmas by sending a cheque for £7.95 payable to 'Comma Press' (free p&p) to Comma Press, 3rd Floor, 24 Lever Street, Manchester M1 1DW. Cheques must arrive by Fri 15th Dec to avoid disappointment.
