Granite Noir: Author Conversation - Edgy, Weird and Wonderful

  • Lemon Tree

Overview

Granite Noir: Author Conversation – Edgy, Weird and Wonderful

The edgy, the weird and the wonderful are the themes of the day as we are joined by Ever Dundas and Heather Parry to dissect their compelling new novels – creepy, thrilling, sinister and terrifying. HellSans is a ubiquitous typeface, enforced by the government. It appears in all communications and in all public spaces. The ultimate control device. In Orpheus Builds a Girl a woman’s grave is robbed, even in death she is controlled by a man obsessed.

Ever Dundas will be appearing virtually.

Chaired by Eris Young

This event will also feature Bernard Briggs reading Saliva as part of our Locals in the Limelight scheme.

This event will be live streamed and can be viewed online.
