Is that autumn in the air, or the whiff of a snuffed candle?
But we're sure we shut the window ... 
 
Perhaps it's a hint of sulphur from the hellishly good haul of scary stories chosen for our harrowing pre-Halloween event BELL, BOOK & CANDLE on Tuesday 8th October? Yeah. That's probably it. 
 
This spooky season we've selected tales of poison-books & creepy crosswords, bodies in the attic, onanistic alchemists, ghost cats (& dogs, & birds) & wives who just won't stay dead. Curious? Check out the stories & authors below: £5 tickets are now available here - don't let the bell toll before you snap yours up!
