An Evening of Thrilling Tales and Dark Imagination

As part of Banff Centre’s Horror Writing Residency, this event brings together emerging and established voices for a night of unforgettable storytelling. Chapter 2 of Literary Cabaret: Horror Writing features a captivating lineup of residency writers presenting original works, culminating in a special reading by Shane Hawk.

A member of the Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, Hawk is the author of Anoka and co-editor of the Bram Stoker, Locus, and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated anthology Never Whistle at Night, which saw tremendous success, reaching its tenth printing just one month after publication.

Doors open at 6:15 p.m., so arrive early to grab a drink from the bar and browse a curated selection of books at Pages Books' onsite shop before the readings begin. Afterward, stay for a relaxed mingling session where you can connect with the writers and fellow literature lovers, with the evening wrapping up at 9:30 p.m.

Mark your calendars and prepare for an unforgettable night of dark fiction and spine-tingling storytelling!
