Fungal by Shannon Lewis - Hallowed Histories Presents The Winter Tales 2024

Hallowed Histories

Greetings, and a warm welcome back to the Hallowed Histories series of Winter's Tales. A heartfelt thank you to those who ventured through Storm Darragh to join us at Stranger’s Hall in Norwich, where we delved into the allure of ghost stories with renowned local author SA Harris. Your presence was greatly valued, and we extend our gratitude to the event staff for the opportunity to gather in such a historic venue.

This evening's tale, titled 'Fungal' by Shannon Lewis, is a selection from the Slow Burn Horror anthology, a project we were delighted to support last Christmas. We reserved this story for an occasion that called for a special narrative and a fitting narrator. It's a subtly unnerving work of horror that insidiously takes root.

Bringing life to Shannon's story is the multi-talented Jack McLeod—actor, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and our esteemed colleague. Jack recently captivated audiences in Richard Hand’s dynamic grand guignol production at the Sewell Barn Theatre and contributed his expertise to the anticipated feature film, The Spirit Lock.

We trust you will find 'Fungal' a hauntingly memorable experience and eagerly anticipate your company next week for another installment of Winter's Tales.
