An absolute pleasure to catch up with Black Country legends The Fizzogs at Brierley Hill. As well as speaking of spooky stories, we talked about their successful Dancing Grannies Quiz Night, which returns in December for more hilarity, hip gyrations & potential hernias!

The Librarian's Dudley Libraries tour continued with a visit to Brierley Hill Library tonight. The final event at Gornal Library next week is already sold out, but you can still get tickets for a different story 'Way Marker' at Wolverhampton - wolverhamptonartscentre.co.uk/events/way-m...

Memorable day with @jamescswanton.bsky.social visiting Featherstone. James discussed Charles Dickens before performing The Signalman - a captivating & chilling re-creation in which he embodied the characters to such effect we were all transported from the #library to that lonely signal box. #theatre

The Librarian (photographed here relaxing in his study) is most pleased that his chilling tales & autumn/winter theatre tour have been featured in the latest edition of The Dark Side (the world’s biggest-selling print horror magazine) — now available in stores and also online.

Thanks to Master of Horror himself, Jon Donnis, for his insightful #WeepingBank interview, which joins a long list of interviews from A(ndy Nyman) to Z(ach Lipovsky). www.mastersofhorror.co.uk/2025/07/inte...

The estimable Michael Palin’s latest diaries are out in paperback, and I was delighted to find his account of coming to see ‘The Woman In Black’ in 2009, which I was appearing in with the magnificent Julian Forsyth. I dug out my own diary from the time to compare (translation of my scrawl follows).

Thanks to @rogersphilip101.bsky.social for his interview with us for @blazingminds.bsky.social – the award-winning site for film, theatre & music reviews since 2008. We talk live readings, Amicus portmanteau horror & fave spooky reads. #WeepingBank #BlazingMinds blazingminds.co.uk/exclusive-inte…

A return to #Birmingham for The Librarian - this time at the incredible Quinborne Community Centre. Its wide range of events go far beyond chilling ghost stories, so do make the most of this great community asset. Next up, Stoke Library in #Coventry, 1 July. @quinborne.bsky.social

#HiVis2025 highlights how libraries support people with visual impairments, from audiobooks to Braille & beyond. And for those who enjoy a chilling tale told aloud… book your tickets to hear The Librarian of Weeping Bank when he’s near you at weepingbank.com/events.

We’re most grateful to 'Tales After Dark' audience member Ryan Hopper for sharing this sketch, made in the moment, as the story unfolded. We’re always honoured when a tale stirs the imagination — and never more so than when it leaves a mark on the page. #WeepingBank
