The event will feature a discussion between CL Hellisen and E. M. Faulds, where they will explore the draw of the gothic, the joy of writing dark fiction, the fascination of betrayal and family, and more. This will be followed by a book signing session where CL Hellisen will sign copies of their book, The Shape of Monsters.

The Shape of Monsters is a dark tale of two estranged siblings who are forced to return to their ancestral home, where they must reckon with their real inheritances and the hidden realm of ancient feuds and dire shadows. The story features magical elements central to the plot, adding to its gripping and suspenseful nature.

The event takes place at Waterstones Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow on 2 October 2026. The general admission ticket price is £5, while a ticket to see The Shape of Monsters is priced at £23.
