“The US author on Georgette Heyer, Bora Chung – and reciting Diana Wynne Jones by heart.”

From Fane in the UK:

For this exclusive virtual event, Kelly (White Cat, Black Dog; Get In Trouble) will be joined by renowned authors Cassandra Clare (The Last Hours, Shadowhunter Chronicles, Sword Catcher), Holly Black (Folk of the Air, The Stolen Heir, The Prisoner’s Throne) and Leigh Bardugo (Ninth House, Grishaverse, Six of Crows duology, The Familiar.)  

Together, they will discuss channelling potent magic, building atmospheric terror and reminding us all that love goes on, even when we cannot. 

Supernatural beings and chaos descend on the small seaside town of Lovesend, Massachusetts, in the wake of the unexpected return of three missing teenagers. 

Laura, Daniel and Mo disappeared without trace a year ago. They have long been presumed dead. Which they were. But now they are not. Revived by Mr Anabin – the man they knew as their high school music teacher – they are offered a chance to return to the mortal realm. But first they must solve the mystery of their death and learn to use the magic they now possess. And only two of them may stay. 

Kelly’s incomparable novel is full of love and loss, laughter and dread, magic and karaoke, and some really good pizza. Tune in for this FREE online event. 

There are stream and book packages available for the following titles: The Book of Love by Kelly Link, Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare, The Prisoner’s Throne by Holly Black and The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo. The first 100 copies of The Book of Love will include a SIGNED bookplate!

Books will be delivered to any UK or international address. Please note we cannot ship to P.O boxes or Parcel Collect addresses. 

This event is now available to watch on demand until 4th March 2024.

Free. Stream & Book.
