Happy Halloween!

In anticipation of what might be next week’s election horror, and to celebrate the season, Rough Trade Books has been filling the Social Gathering’s online pages this week with tales of goblins, ghosts, myth, folklore and much more. They kicked off with Simon Costin from Boscastle’s Museum of Witchcraft and Magic introducing All Hallows’ Eve, and ran a brilliant playlist, for Samhain, put together by Sophy Hollington. Satan met Aphrodite when David Keenan and Wendy Erskine joined together in conversation about their pamphlets of RTB’s latest series with the museum. The Cult of Water film made by David Bramwell, a great interview with Jen Calleja by Rebecca Tamás discussing Goblins and to close this week of haunted happening tonight, we have a three-hour special from Pete Fowler, whose Friday night sets have been a real highlight of the year so far. 

So raise a glass of something, be it ‘trick’ or ‘treat’, to Pete Fowler’s Haunted Howlers and everyone else who’s contributed to a very special week…

Press play here at 6pm…
