At the Vancouver International Writers and Readers Festival:

Fright Night
Hiromi Goto and Tim Wynne-Jones
Host: Brenda Berck
Waterfront Theatre
$16 / $8 for student groups
Buy tickets online at Vancouver Tix.

Two Canadian authors have deliberately set out to write tales that leave readers on the edge of their chairs, send shivers down their spines and take their imaginations to the edge of reason. These multi-award winning authors share goosebump moments with their readers; they will also discuss why being frightened is fascinating to us, the borders between fright and horror, the fear of the known and the unknown and how they make the unimaginable real enough to keep us turning pages.

Suitable for grades 9 to 12, and adults

At the Vancouver International Writers and Readers Festival:

The Timeless Forces of Good and Evil
Hiromi Goto and Matthew Skelton
Host: John Burns
1 – 2:30 pm
Waterfront Theatre
$16 / $8 for student groups
Buy tickets online at Vancouver Tix.

Those with a taste for dark fantasy and the worlds of magic, adventure and time-travel will revel in new works by authors Hiromi Goto and Matthew Skelton. In Skelton’s novel, merciless rogues are conniving to steal the world’s most divine power, which they believe young Cirrus Flux has inherited. Goto’s heroine Melanie is lured to the purgatory-like Half World to save her mother, only to realize the whole state of the universe is at risk. A violent struggle to restore cosmic balance ensues. With contemporary flair, two accomplished authors bring new relevance to the universal themes of good and evil.

Suitable for grades 8 to 10
