Spend an hour of darkly imaginative storytelling with Viktor Wynd, who revisits witches, curses, beasts, ghosts and desires through a mischievous gothic take on familiar folklore. A book signing follows the event.
Join Viktor Wynd for an hour of darkly imaginative storytelling, grotesque transformations and wicked enchantments as part of Folkestone Book Festival. Drawing on his book Dark Fairy Tales, he revisits stories of witches, curses, beasts, ghosts and desires, bringing a mischievous gothic sensibility to familiar folklore and the stranger corners of the imagination.
Wynd is the founder of the Last Tuesday Society and the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, and his work has long celebrated the strange, beautiful and unsettling. This event blends performance, folklore and storytelling, offering an evening that is humorous, eerie and a little transgressive.
It is a rare chance to hear one of Britain’s most eccentric cultural figures in person, with a book signing to follow after the event.
