tales after dark: Way Marker

'an incredible feat... A.G. Smith's storytelling is so vivid that even immediately after seeing it, I remembered it as a full-scale cinematic production! It is a masterclass in the art of the modern ghost story'. Writer/journalist, Brontë Schiltz

Judith Holden had a ritual. Each New Year she would embark on a solitary walk, a chance to lose herself in the landscape. No GPS signal to guide her, just her natural sense of direction and a trusted Ordnance Survey map should that let her down. 

This single day was sacred to her. 

A chance to be alone in her own thoughts and to work through her troubles and plan for the months ahead.  A perfect day. But even perfect days can go wrong. Terrifyingly wrong.

'Way Marker' is a folk horror tale of isolation and dark secrets.

After an acclaimed performance at the UK Ghost Story Festival and a sold out tour of the Midlands throughout 2024, The Librarian of Weeping Bank brings his ghostly tales to London for the first time. Weeping Bank brings engaging, candlelit performances of ghost stories to community spaces and theatres, creating intimate and unique experiences for both avid and reluctant readers, gothic horror fans and lovers of traditional storytelling.

‘The quality of your writing of ghost stories is superb. I have found that very few horror stories have the genuine ability to chill, but both your tales were suitably unnerving and sublimely told.’ Nick Brunger, award-winning magician and storyteller.

'well written and flawlessly delivered with thespian-level gravitas' Emma Dark, award-winning filmmaker and actress, columnist for We Belong Dead magazine. ‘You have managed to capture perfectly the atmosphere and sound of the great ghost story writers of yesteryear’

Warning - Weeping Bank readings contain moments of heightened tension. The reading is unsuitable for anyone under the age of 15 or of a nervous disposition.
