It will be a relaxed atmosphere, some sinister music, candlelight, and some tales between friends. If you'd like to come along then grab yourself a ticket from the event link below for free if times are hard or see if you can spare us a couple of coins and we'll see you on the 8th for Baron & Snatch's Dark Reads Live!
