What a way to end our Arts Council funded tour of Dudley Libraries!

Thank you so much to the staff of #Gornal Library & the Friends group for making this such a great night.

Our next local event is in #Wolverhampton on 14 Oct. For all our events, see weepingbank.com/events

Always a pleasure to reconnect with @adamzed.bsky.social - this time as he delivered engaging writing workshops in Staffordshire. We chatted about 'The Book of Darkness and Light' theatre tour & all things ghostly. Make sure you follow Adam at @tbodal.bsky.social & catch him on stage near you...

An absolute pleasure to catch up with Black Country legends The Fizzogs at Brierley Hill.

As well as speaking of spooky stories, we talked about their successful Dancing Grannies Quiz Night, which returns in December for more hilarity, hip gyrations & potential hernias!

The Librarian's Dudley Libraries tour continued with a visit to Brierley Hill Library tonight.

The final event at Gornal Library next week is already sold out, but you can still get tickets for a different story 'Way Marker' at Wolverhampton - wolverhamptonartscentre.co.uk/events/way-m...

An absolute pleasure Jon - a day we will never forget. Looking forward to your book.

Thank you, @emmadark.bsky.social! The Librarian was most pleased to hear the programme reached a reader of such discerning taste. May its haunted pages serve you well…

A return visit to #Northwich for The Librarian, but this time in the atmospheric Old School Room at Weaver Hall Museum where Northwich Library is currently housed.

James Swanton & A.G. Smith

Memorable day with @jamescswanton.bsky.social visiting Featherstone. James discussed Charles Dickens before performing The Signalman - a captivating & chilling re-creation in which he embodied the characters to such effect we were all transported from the #library to that lonely signal box. #theatre

The Librarian (photographed here relaxing in his study) is most pleased that his chilling tales & autumn/winter theatre tour have been featured in the latest edition of The Dark Side (the world’s biggest-selling print horror magazine) — now available in stores and also online.

Thanks to Master of Horror himself, Jon Donnis, for his insightful #WeepingBank interview, which joins a long list of interviews from A(ndy Nyman) to Z(ach Lipovsky).

Many thanks to the amazing @bronteschiltz.bsky.social for this insightful interview for @bigissuenorth.bsky.social on the music co-creation in prison libraries project with @mbetteridge.bsky.social & @clarehammondpiano.bsky.social

The estimable Michael Palin’s latest diaries are out in paperback, and I was delighted to find his account of coming to see ‘The Woman In Black’ in 2009, which I was appearing in with the magnificent Julian Forsyth. I dug out my own diary from the time to compare (translation of my scrawl follows).

Thanks to @rogersphilip101.bsky.social for his interview with us for @blazingminds.bsky.social – the award-winning site for film, theatre & music reviews since 2008. We talk live readings, Amicus portmanteau horror & fave spooky reads.

Thank you Philip - insightful questions and a pleasure to chat to you.

We cover a range of topics here including the influence of Amicus portmanteau films - now reborn under the assured direction of @lawriebrewster.bsky.social - thank you @rogersphilip101.bsky.social for taking the time to talk to us for @blazingminds.bsky.social about our autumn theatre tour.
