Don't go in there with T.L.Huchu

Brighton Book Festival welcomes the return of the Horror story.

Horror is back and it has undergone a metamorphosis, moving away from the classic horror style of writers such as Stephen King and embracing something much closer to home.

War, pandemics, genocide - these are the realities that the horror genre facilitates perfectly. Stories about the expression of female rage and what happens when something long suppressed finally ruptures.

So, are you brave enough to be in the room with some of literature's darkest minds.

We Dare you!
