Book your tickets now for Horror Out Loud: prose open mic featuring Lucie McKnight Hardy & Alison Littlewood.

Book now! Tickets are selling fast.



Northern Short Story Festival presents an afternoon of chilling horror with a folk-horror flavour. Join featured readers Shirley Jackson Award winning author Alison Littlewood (Best of British Horror), and Dead Ink author Lucie McKnight Hardy (Best of British Short Stories), for an afternoon of horror stories that will stun, scare, and startle!

This event will be held in The Leeds Library (on Commercial St NOT Central Library) which was founded in 1768, and is the oldest surviving example of a membership subscription library in the British Isles. Legend says the Library is haunted by a former Librarian, Vincent Sternberg who still browses the stacks at night, along with other ghostly apparitions. We cannot promise sight of these during your visit but you might feel a chill or two as you wander around the Library.

Limited Open Mic slots are available for your own stories. To book one of these from Tuesday 1st October, email northernshortstoryfestival@gmail.com. All stories must be under 5 minutes long. Halloween fancy dress encouraged, with prizes!

Tickets are £6 + Eventbrite booking fee and can be booked here. Doors at 3pm for a 3.30pm start. There will be a bar serving refreshments.

We are able to offer reduced price Horror Out Loud tickets on Oct 26th for people on benefits, on zero hours / PT hours, or anybody on a low income. Please email us (northernshortstoryfestival@gmail.com) if you would like one.
The Northern Short Story Festival is part of Leeds Big Bookend, and is supported by Arts@Leeds and Leeds City Council.

After Dark: Below Stairs


22nd and 24th October

Returning for a third year, Alnwick Castle is allowing a limited number of brave visitors within its walls, with the help of a guide, to hear tales of its history after hours.

Was that a dim figure flitting in the darkness or just a shadow of the imagination?  Did you feel a soft stroke on your face, or was it a cobweb? Feel and hear the anguish of the restless souls who lived within the walls of Alnwick Castle centuries ago as you explore parts of the castle not usually seen by visitors.

Dare you explore the sinister secrets of this most mysterious medieval castle in the dark?  Beware – this evening outing is not for the faint-hearted!

Plan Your Halloween
There are plenty of ways to celebrate Halloween. Some agree that Halloween has it's roots in the traditional pagan holiday Samhain. Some believe it marks the moment when the spirit world is closest to the living world, and a prime time to pay respect to the deceased.
If the NYC Halloween Parade is not your cup of tea, don't fret. Bring your costumes and face paint over to one of these other fun events that kick off the day the right way. 
Purpose of Disguise
Yes, we'd all like to dress up as our favorite superhero or villain for one day but why else do crowds parade around in disguises? Our customs are never as simple as we are led to believe and Halloween is no exception. If you were ever confused as to why we wear costumes and masks, look no further.
The combination of different traditions and practices have birthed today's well know holidays and Halloween is a prime example.
