DISCOVER CHILDREN'S STORY CENTRE

As night falls and strange whispers seem to follow your every step, the question lingers – what’s out there in the dark? Join author John Dougherty for a spooky storytime event on Halloween. 

There will be a reading of his new picture book, Something in the Darkness, accompanied by music and lots of interactive fun. Sometimes what frightens us most in the dark is less fearsome in the light… 

About the author

Author and poet John Dougherty has been writing children’s books for over twenty years. His work ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous, including the surreal Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face series, and the hilariously zany There’s a Pig Up My Nose. His beautiful, poignant picture book The Hare-Shaped Hole has won multiple awards. A former teacher, John is a passionate advocate for both public libraries and the importance of reading for pleasure. He was one of the first Patrons of Reading in the UK.
