A SPOOKILY special event will be held at Dudley Library to celebrate the latest release from Woman in Black writer, Susan Hill.

The library team has joined forces with The Reading Agency to plug the author's new ghost story collection, The Travelling Bag.

Horror fans can listen to an atmospheric live storytelling session with readings from the book as well as other terrifying tales at the event on Wednesday, November 8.

Other eerie activities on offer include a horror-themed literary quiz.

The event starts at 6.30pm and is open to all ages, however parental guidance is advised.

Fancy dress is optional but encouraged and there will be prizes for the best dressed adult and youngster.

Tickets cost £2 and include refreshments.

People can pay on the door or book through their library or call Dudley Library directly on 01384 815560.
