Death Lines: Walking London Through Horror Cinema

Here's your opportunity to meet author Lauren Barnett in person and hear her speak about her new book at Kensington Library lecture hall.

A treat for all cinephiles, horror fans, and lovers of London lore.

Death Lines: Walking London's Horror History is the first walking guide to the capital’s role in the evolution of horror cinema, and to celebrate it's launch, author Lauren Jane Barnett will lead you through the capital’s role in the evolution of horror cinema, inspired by the city’s dark histories, uncanny architectures, and atmospheric streets.

From the London Underground and the Thames to Holland Park and the East End, she will lead you through tales of hauntings, buried secrets, uncanny antique stores that appear in well-beloved classics like Horrors of the Black Museum and An American Werewolf in London, and cult gems including Mia Farrow's chilling The Haunting of Julia.
