Scare Fest 2 was a shivering delight!
Photos and report by Patrick Trollope.

ANYONE would think it was nearly Halloween! So what do you get when you have 6 top authors, a stage and Halloween around the corner...? Fun and plenty of screamƨ! That was the case at The Civic in Crosby, on Tuesday, 20 October 2011. We had the honour of helping out with what was a outstanding night put on by Formby Books and Sefton Arts, in association with Yoshimi Digital and Sefton Celebrates Writing. Taking to the stage were Tommy Donbavand, Philip Caveney, Curtis Jobling, Jon Mayhew, Barry Hutchison and Joseph Delaney. All of them took up the 3 hours with things like role play, reading un-published chapters of books and even a scary live drawing demonstration by the would famous Curtis Jobling, who created ‘Bob the Builder’ and ‘Frankenstein’s Cat’. Their distinctive and very different style of writing, all combined with their passion and enthusiasm to engage the audience, proved to be a magical combination. Their antics should have not only provided a highly enjoyable night, as all the children and adults we asked agreed it was, but also an experience that will last a life time and hopefully inspire some of the next generation to become writers. To see out photograpic coverage of this event click on here now... Be warned, when browsing these images, if you see any ghosts; don’t get frightened as they are friendly we have been told!

Don’t forget that the authors books can be obtained via ourselves via Mersey Reporter and also via Formby Books.
