Join this evening event where authors discuss their spooky tales with writer and performer Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan. Amy Clarkin’s What Walks These Halls (The O’Brien Press) is a story of family, friendship and self-discovery centring around the haunted Hyacinth House. Oein DeBhairduin’s Twiggy Woman (Skein Press) is a chilling collection of ghost stories rooted in the oral tradition of the Irish Traveller community and folklore, re-envisioned and retold for modern times.

This is an 18+ event.

Amy Clarkin is a writer from Dublin. Her non-fiction writing is often on the theme of chronic illness and identity, and has been featured in Sonder Literary Magazine, Rogue, and Dear Damsels.
