An Evening of Spine-Tingling Storytelling. Step into the eerie world of horror literature in Chapter 1 of Literary Cabaret: Horror Writing, an evening of chilling tales and literary artistry. As part of Banff Centre’s Horror Writing 2025 Residency, this event brings together emerging and established voices for unforgettable storytelling. Enjoy riveting readings by our residency writers, capped off by a special reading from Jessica Johns, a queer nehiyaw aunty and member of Sucker Creek First Nation. Her debut novel, Bad Cree, was a Canada Reads finalist, shortlisted for the Amazon First Novel Award, and the WGA Fiction Prize winner. Doors open at 6:15 p.m., so come early, grab a drink from the bar, and browse a curated selection of books at Pages Books' onsite shop before the readings begin. Afterward, stay for a relaxed mingling session where you can connect with the writers and fellow literature lovers, with the evening wrapping up at 9:30 p.m.
