Spooky Halloween Reads

Happy Halloween listeners! Today's podcast sees our E-Services Librarian, Chris Wilson, fill us in on some of the suggestions he got back from other library staff when he asked them what their favourite spooky and scary stories were.

He also caught up with our Community Libraries Manager, Russell Brown, to find out more about what he thinks makes a great horror story. 

Hopefully some of the spooky stories might find their way onto your 'To-Read' pile at home.
