We are showcasing students from Glasgow University's Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastical as they discuss their research into the horror genre.

If you are feeling brave you can join us on a spooky behind the scenes tour of the Mitchell Library, perhaps you will meet our resident ghost Septimus..... Or why not enjoy our curated collection of unique horror themed library treasures.

Tickets include a complimentary glass of wine. There will be a chance to buy refreshments, listen to music and hear readings in our pop up bar.

Halloween/fancy dress costumes welcome!
