Description
Step into the strange and shadowy world of the British Library’s acclaimed Tales of the Weird series, which has brought new life to Britain’s rich tradition of gothic, folkloric, and uncanny storytelling.
From haunted houses to forgotten monsters, these stories speak to something deep in the national imagination. Join Jeremy Dyson (The League of Gentlemen, Ghost Stories) and Tales of the Weird editors, gothic scholar John Miller and folklorist Elizabeth Dearnley as they explore why eerie tales continue to resonate.
Chaired by travel writer Nick Jubber, this panel celebrates the enduring power of the weird – on the page, on the stage, and in the shadows.
Co-produced by the British Library.
