New Writers on the Riviera

This event will now take place at Spanish Barn, Torre Abbey, Torquay TQ2 5JE. All other details remain the same.

Meet two brilliant local novelists who are advancing the nail-biting thriller writing tradition of the Bay: Sarah Pearse is the author of The Sanatorium, an instant New York Times & #1 Sunday Times bestseller. Her new book The Retreat is out now. Adam Nevill is the author of The Ritual, Last Days, No One Gets Out and The Reddening - all won The August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel. Both authors have film adaptations under way.

Celebrate the starry literary provenance of the English Riviera inside one of Torbay’s best loved heritage buildings, the Paignton Picture House, currently under restoration – a favourite cultural destination of Agatha Christie.
