Halloween Bookish News!

I have a few little snippets to share with you and in keeping with Halloween weekend they’re all of a spooky nature! 
First up, I have two fantastic sounding events to tell you about taking place this weekend in London.
I was emailed by Foyles Bookshop telling me about this fantastic event, which sadly I can’t attend but thought my readers may be interested in!

Sunday 31 October 2pm

Warning: Only For The Brave!

London, UK. — October 26, 2010 — Puffin Books announces the release of The Scared Kid, a chilling short film for Halloween created by best-selling children’s author, actor and comedian, Charlie Higson.
The film is aimed at 12+ and is available to view at www.the-enemy.co.uk/scaredkidIt is also available on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoMMtCnzIfw for older teens and zombie fans of all ages. It offers a cliff-hanging taster from The Dead, the second book in Charlie’s action adventure zombie series, The Enemy.
