Psychic Vampires and African legends with Tim Kindberg

Join us for an evening with Bristol's own sci-fi horror author Tim Kindberg at The Haunted Bookshop.

Get your copy of 'Vampires of Avonmouth' signed and hear Tim read excerpts from this gripping novel.

Local author Tim Kindberg wrote 'Vampires of Avonmouth' following a trip to Accra, Ghana. Obayifa, the book’s main monster, is no ordinary vampire: she is African, and her lust is to consume your mind, not your blood. After reading from the book, Tim will talk about the Akan legend of the obayifo, upon which Obayifa is based; the adinkra symbols sprinkled throughout the text, with their fascinating meanings; and how the first ever psychic vampire in literature was Harriet Brandt in The Blood of the Vampire, which Florence Marryat published in 1897 - the same year as Dracula. And finally: how the book anticipates all of the evils now being perpetrated by Elon Musk.

Every Thursday

Tarot Thursdays: Beginners Tarot class

Introduction to the Tarot: Class one. We will provide an overview of the classic 78 card structure, and deep-dive into the Fool card

In this first session, we will:

Provide an overview of the classic 78 card Rider Waite deck.

Then do a deep-dive on the rich symbology of the Fool card, completing a worksheet as we go.

The Rider Waite is our foundation, but we will compare how it has been represented across other decks.

Each following Thursday will look at two majors each week. I will also record the sessions, so if you miss a week, I can send you the recording for a discounted price.

You are welcome to stay for the following, intermediate session where you will practice on each other from 7.30-8.30pm.
