First off there was an introduction by anthology editor, Conrad Williams followed by readings from Gary McMahon, Joel Lane and Amanda Hemingway. After the readings there was a question and answer session which my pal Simon Bestwick joined because he's also in the anthology.
How cool is my city?
Before the event I met Simon Bestwick, Gary McMahon and Joel Lane in the cafe opposite Waterstones. Never mind my city, how cool am I? I've met Joel before (briefly), but it's the first time I've met Gary and as expected he's super awesome as well as being super talented. Picked up Gary's The Concrete Grove and of course Gutshot. The anthology is available from PS Publishing.
The next Twisted Tales event has readings by Ramsey Campbell and Pete Crowther. Again, how cool is my city?

On a scale of 1-10, I'd say 11. At least.
Yes, but at least 6 points of that come from Cate's presence therein. If she moved to Manchester it would change ;-)
Ace to see you as ever, Cate, and thanks for signing my copy of Barbed Wire Hearts.
V-word: refavo.
Defo, Aaron
I think Scousers are banned from Manchester, Simon :D
It is cool (I imagine), but also very far away :-(
So very, very far away, Ray
Very cool, you and your city. :) You sound like one of those jet-setter types!
Your entire experience was much too cool. I'd be happy with any of them reading, signing, merely being in my town
I look forward to receiving my copy of Gutshot.
Cheers
Jeff
P.S. Barbed Wire Hearts was a weird and wild ride. Enjoyed it very much.
Sounds like fun times :) what a great city
I have you fooled, Kate
Thanks, Jeff
It is, Kim
After the exciting visit by TV's Boycie, we here in SOT can now look forward to a visit by none other than Antique Roadshow's Eric Knowles! Oh wow!
Um, can I move to Liverpool, please?
Very cool. And such a great football team, too ...
