The real-life writer on the fictional horror author.
Matthew Holness, local author, Perrier Award winning actor, comedian, director, and creator of the one and only Garth Marenghi, is coming to Norwich Book Festival for an evening of laughter, literature and looming terror.

For the first half of the evening, Matthew will discuss his work and craft with crime-writer Tom Benn. He’ll reveal the secrets to his creating cult hits and starring in legendary sitcoms, and the art of making characters memorable.

In the second half, Garth Marenghi himself will take to the stage in a swirl of ominous darkness (and/or torchlight). The lights will flicker (for a bit) as he reads brand new work never before presented to an audience, and a chill will (ideally) settle in the air. The Lord High Petrifier will narrate the petrifying words he alone has scribed down in Incarcerat and Terrortome, and too many others to mention (though mainly those two). Dare you attend in both senses of the word? I.e turn up and also listen?
