Absolutely thrilled to be returning to the storyteller's chair for another gripping tale of the supernatural for #halloween2026. A chiller from #AlgernonBlackwood for my 6th year reading these classic tales at an array of wonderful venues.

We saw this in London in 2026...and we're still talking about it. Unmissable theatre.

Not many #WorldBookDay2026 events were chilling stories for adults, but that is exactly what happened when The Librarian visited the newly refurbished Wombourne Library, pictured here with staff still wearing their #WorldBookDay costumes.

#NationalYearofReading2026
#GoAllIn2026

A welcome return to #Cannock and another sold-out reading of 'Figure on the Pier' in partnership with #Staffordshire Libraries.
50 people jumping out of their seats is quite a sight!
This outing marked yet another literary event in support of the #NationalYearofReading2026.

One year ago. #thesignalman

I can't believe it's been a year since we were there. Unforgettable day.

The Librarian read his tale 'Figure on the Pier' at Rugeley Library last night, once again supporting the #NationalYearofReading2026 & #NationalStoryTellingWeek2026 by bringing sell-out crowds back into libraries with his acclaimed ghost storytelling experience.

#GoAllIn2026

You don't want to miss this. Another chilling story from the brilliant @tbodal.bsky.social
