Two amazing authors teamed up to scare the pants off the audience! Jason Hes and Kelan Gerreity not only dressed the venue but also themselves for the launch of their books.
Our Immaculate by Jason Hes and Crimson Skies by Kelan Gerreity were the focus of the horror evening. Guests got into the spirit of Halloween by dressing up and then shivering in their seats as both authors read a selection from their books.
Although Crimson Skies is not classified as a horror, it certainly sent tingles up my spine as Ms Gerreity brought some of her characters to life. However, Our Immaculate is definitely a horror and Mr Hes had everyone hiding their eyes in the belief that if they couldn't see, then it couldn't be real!
A delightfully scary evening enjoyed by all.

"He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked, and he shall rejoice. We shall all rejoice." Twenty-four hours ago, Electra Almacy was dying to leave Our Immaculate Academy for good. Now - hunted by a demented blood cult and a primeval entity known only as the Boy with the Red Feet- she may actually die trying to escape. Last night, Delphi Makholwe, the school's newly appointed head girl, thought that waking up to an unstable student standing naked at the foot of her bed was the worst thing that could happen to her. Now, tormented by an ancient ritual and a creature that shouldn't exist, she's about to encounter far worse things. Forty-one years ago, Doctor Eva Hamilton, principal of Our Immaculate Academy, became consumed by a little boy who promised her paradise. Tonight, she'll spill as much blood as it takes to make sure his vision is realised."

It does not rain. Not unless someone is killed. Its been four months and the soil is hard and dry. People are suffering, the dam is low. Sarla, Dyle, Jex and Aila are the next chosen offerings. They will be sacrificed for rain, that is if they don't escape first. The escape through the canyon is full of dangers, but stars shine on the other side. Surely it is safe where stars deem it fit to shine?
