Ghost Story Club
by Magic Torch Comics
Ghost Story Club creative workshops run every
Thursday from 29th September – 27th October
Gourock Library
5.15pm – 6.45pm | 1hr 30 mins | Free
Got a scary story to tell? Join local storyteller Paul Bristow at our Ghost Story Club, six weeks of creative writing for adults to help you write and record an original terrifying tale to be shared during the Galoshans Festival. We’ll explore the different styles and techniques of ghost stories and tales of unease – and then look to the history and heritage of Scotland and Inverclyde to provide inspiration for our own tales. And when it’s written, you’ll have the opportunity to record it for our Ghost Story Club
podcast, releasing during Galoshans Weekend.
It will also be made available as part of a free ebook on Inverclyde Libraries Borrowbox service.
