Scorpio Books: Harvest Party

Come and celebrate The Real Halloween with seasonally-appropriate readings from local authors. Scorpio Books will be open late for this special event.

Inspired by The Food Farm’s practice of celebrating Halloween in late April, the equivalent of late October for the Northern Hemisphere, we’ve put together a line-up of readers to help get you into an autumnal mood. Scorpio’s very own Isabelle Taylor will read from her new fantasy romance novel Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf (book one of the Claw Haven series). Kerry Donovan Brown, author of magic realism novel Lamplighter (2014), will read from their new science fiction fantasy novel. Isla Huia, author of Talia (2023, shortlisted for the Ockham NZ Book Awards), will read from her forthcoming poetry collection due out in July with Dead Bird Books. And finally, Angela Clifford and Nick Gill of The Food Farm will share some pearls of wisdom about what happens on the farm at this time of year.

All welcome, drinks and nibbles provided. Free event. More information here.
