Dormouse Books: Author Event

Dormouse Books will continue their author events on Monday 21st October from 7pm – 9pm at Reunion Deli, Strutt Street, Belper.

Anna Bogutskaya will discuss her non fiction book Feeding the Monster.

Why Horror Has A Hold On Us

Horror has been embraced by mainstream pop culture more than ever before, with horror characters and aesthetics infecting TV, music videos and even TikTok trends. Yet even with the commercial and critical success of horror films and TV series over the last few years, loving the genre still prompts the question: what’s wrong with you? Implying, of course, that there is something not quite right about the people who make and consume it.

In Feeding the Monster, Anna Bogutskaya dispels this notion once and for all by examining how horror responds to and fuels our feelings of fear, anxiety, pain, hunger and power.

The event is free to attend and snacks are provided!
