About this Event

Havock is a comedy fantasy for adults who would have preferred Game of Thrones if it had been written by Terry Pratchett.

Low Havock is under attack from the barbarian tyrant Lord Gorab, and there’s only one thing that can save it. Trouble is, no-one knows what it is. So, when young warrior Dill, his wizard friend Wuzzbright and the dwarf Colossus set out to find it, the odds are stacked against them. To make matters worse, Dill is obsessed with maidens, Wuzzbright only knows one spell, and Colossus would start a fight with his own reflection if it looked at him funny.


When Dan Forrester graduated from college he was still young and happy. Several years later, with life having addressed that, he took up writing and has since won awards for his short stories from both the National Association of Writers’ Groups and the Lancashire Authors’ Association. He has also had short stories published by Reader’s Digest and Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook amongst others, and his first novel Havock won Judges’ Pick in Grindstone Literacy’s International Novel Prize.


The evening will include a reading from the novel and a book bingo & quiz, and copies of the book will be available to buy for £10.
