Join us for an evening of chills as we welcome Liam Higginson to our Romiley shop for the launch of his debut novel The Hill in the Dark Grove.

Steeped in Welsh Folklore, it’s a haunting and sinister story about a lost way of life and the terrifying lengths we go to to protect what we know. Liam will be in conversation with bookshop owner Kelly and the talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.

Tickets are £5.00 each or £16.99 including a copy of The Hill in the Dark Grove. Light refreshments are included in the ticket price.

Event starts at 6:30pm (doors at 6pm)

About the Book:

Carwyn and Rhian – the last in a long line of sheep farmers – are living out a brutal year on their hillside farm, deep in the mountains of Eryri, North Wales.

When Carwyn discovers a buried prehistoric ruin in one of the fields on their land, his curiosity quickly descends into obsession. His wife, Rhian, meanwhile, is confronted with the growing realization that the man with whom she shares her life and home is becoming a frightening stranger.

As the harsh winter closes in, Rhian finds herself alone with her increasingly peculiar husband, and the mountains, and the looming megalithic stones.

‘Eerie. Dangerous. I loved it’ – Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground

‘Evocative, tender, terrifying… Superb’ – Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies
