Vancouver Writers Fest

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
