Writers With Bite

A new book festival for Edinburgh that reaches the dark places that other festivals would rather avoid... Writers With Bite is all about the supernatural, the fantastic, the dark and the magical. Organised by The Real Mary Kings Close GhostFest and City of the Dead Tours, this is the festival for those who like their writing dark!

Details are still being confirmed, but authors appearing at the first Writers With Bite include:

There will be paranormal investigations from TV's Most Haunted present Richard Felix, and some "Crap Ghosts" from Gavin Inglis. Anna Burkey of the Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature will lead a literary tour of Edinburgh.
