1/2 📚 I had a fabulous time last night watching POCK, the latest dark tale to escape the vaults of Weeping Bank Library, at the Old Red Lion Playhouse in Islington. Pictured here with ‘The Librarian’ himself. A great reminder of how powerful live performance can be.

A creepy and uncanny Sunday night witnessing the reading of two Gothic tales. The first tale is a ghost story, in the vein of Edith Nesbit and M.R. James. The second segment is about witchcraft that fits well in the folk horror category. #ghoststories #folkhorror #folkhorrorrevival

Planning something VERY special for 22 December 2026, the 50th anniversary of The Signalman. Clear your diaries and for God’s sake, clear the way.

Second trip was to the Old Red Lion Theatre pub in Islington to hear The Librarian's latest chilling tale from @weepingbank.bsky.social a familiar story called 'Pock".

A fantastic start to 2026 with The Librarian reading his tale 'Pock' to a packed audience at the Old Red Lion Theatre in London. The tour continues with performances in Malvern and Rugeley this month, both already sold out.

Always great to catch up with David Morrissey and get some excellent ghost story recommendations. A fantastic day in Featherstone meeting library champions - David's talk had everyone motivated and asking pertinent questions about the craft of acting.

Thank you to @theguardian.com for including my obituary for my wonderful grandpa, John Baddeley, in today’s paper. We miss him every day.

The Librarian will be resting his vocal chords over Christmas and the New Year, although he will still be writing his tales between mince pies and mulled wine. He kicks off the 2026 tour on 18 Jan at the Old Red Lion Theatre in London. See the full list of events at www.weepingbank.com More 👇

We're delighted to be featured in the second issue of The Spectral Lines - an essential bit of fireside Christmas reading for the ghost story fan. Order yours at the link below (copies of Issue One are still available too): thespectrallines.bigcartel.com

It certainly was 'A Somewhat Gothic Christmas' last night when The Librarian opened with a scary story & then handed over the mic to the musical talents of @toriawooff.bsky.social (pictured), Natalie Wildgoose & Polly Virr. This was our 30th event of 2025 & a great way to end the year!

Can heartily recommend.

A surprise visit to Codsall Library with @fionacumminsauthor.bsky.social before meeting two reading groups to discuss the gripping 'A Boy Called Saul' part of the @readingagency.bsky.social #QuickRead campaign. Fiona enthralled both groups with a lively discussion of writing and journalism.

Phenomenally excited to be one of the headline speakers at the next UK Ghost Story Festival in Derby. Sharing the bill with people like Catriona Ward is just incredible, and I can't wait to see the full line up.

The Librarian meets cursed storyteller @adamzed.bsky.social after his captivating @tbodal.bsky.social show at @oldjointstock.bsky.social in #Birmingham. Still some tickets left for tonight's performance, so don't miss out! And try to ignore those shadowy hands reaching out for you to join them!

What does The Librarian of #WeepingBank do on a rare night off? He goes to see master storyteller @adamzed.bsky.social bring two chilling @tbodal.bsky.social tales to #Birmingham. There are tickets left for both tonight & tomorrow, if you feel like you need a good scare. You won't be disappointed.

A moment of calm for The Librarian before the audience arrives at #Perton Library. Thanks as always to the incredible staff of @staffslibraries.bsky.social. 'Figure on the Pier' will be repeated at #Cannock & #Rugeley Libraries next year. Book your tickets at ticketsource.co.uk/weeping-bank

"You can hear echoes of M. R. James here," writes Steve Kinrade for Liverpool Noise, "but also something newer — a modern anxiety that hums beneath the surface". Read the full review at bit.ly/43wZm3R Many thanks to Steve for his wonderful words & also to Al Blundell for the fabulous photographs.

Thank you to the audience & the amazing staff of @unitytheatre.bsky.social for making this first visit to #Liverpool in the lead up to #Halloween so special. It was also fabulous to share the stage with Liverpool-based charity The Reader as they raised awareness of their Reading Heroes programme.

Great to talk to Paul Beesley on BBC Merseyside about the origins of #WeepingBank and the power of ghost storytelling ahead of our #Halloween show in #Liverpool tonight. There are still some tickets left for tonight's show, so book your seats on the @unitytheatre.bsky.social website!
