Author Talk: What Lies Beneath? An evening of folk horror with Andrew Michael Hurley

On the approach to All Hallow’s Eve, as the nights draw in and the boundaries between worlds are shifting, join us at Caper for an evening of folk horror exploration.   Andrew will be in conversation with Elizabeth Garner, discussing his writing journey across his three most recent novels: unearthing the bones of Starve Acre, digging into the deep time of the layered landscape of Barrowbeck before coming to rest at the site of his most recent novel: Saltwash. There we will explore the twisted corridors of the dilapidated seaside town and the disintegrating Castle Hotel where past regrets meet present-day reckoning and nothing is quite what it seems.
