The Book Drunkard Literary Festival

Join us on October 29, 2022, at 2:00 pm at The Haunted Bookstore (Blue Heron Studio) for family friendly, spooky stories with BT host Jeremy John. Featuring a costume contest with the scariest costume taking home a very scary prize pack! Suitable for ages 8+

A creepy collection of spooky short stories perfect for reading out loud any time you want the fun of a good fright.

Boo! See, scared you already. This collection of short, spooky stories is perfect for reading out loud on Halloween night, at a sleepover, or around the campfire. Jeremy John takes you on a frightening trip to the past, where Wild West criminals meet the hangman and brave knights battle monsters in the forest, through to today, where young vampires find victims through dating apps and spirits possess smart speakers.

Turn out the lights, grab a flashlight, hide under the blankets, and enjoy the fun frights of ghosts who feed on trick-or-treating kids, a pumpkin patch that hides a terrible secret, and who — or what — is buried in the grave of Mikey Dunbar.

JEREMY JOHN is currently ranked as the sixty-second most famous person from Brantford, Ontario. (Look it up. There are a lot.) He is the author of Robert’s Hill (or The Time I Pooped My Snowsuit) and Other Christmas Stories. Jeremy lives with his wife, kids, and a dog he pretends not to like in Sudbury, Ontario.
