It’s called Gothic Toronto: Writing The City Macabre. Six T.O. writers – Andrew Pyper, Ann-Marie MacDonald, Cherie Dimaline, Michelle Wan, Nalo Hopkinson and Tasleem Thawar – were asked to pen stories that give the city a creepy cast. They read from these tales, which go on sale (but only at the event) as a chapbook with an introduction by Margaret Atwood. Wednesday (June 10), 7:30 pm, St. George the Martyr Church (197 John).
