Fancy yourself a horror writer? Learn how to channel your inner Mary Shelley

Our annual Festival of Inspiration, Stylist Live, is returning to Olympia London this November and tickets are now on sale. 

As the 31 October looms we’ve found ourselves daring to turn the pages of the scariest books on our bookshelf, enjoying the sinister kick that reading something truly terrifying gives us. 

Maybe it’s because Halloween is around the corner, or maybe the fact that this year marks the 200th anniversary since the release of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, that’s got us in the mood for spooky literature.  

This seminal novel is considered one of the most iconic horror books ever written, a genre that’s growing ever more popular with horror fiction sales steadily growing year on year. 

Noticing the increasing demand for ghoulish tales, we have invited critically-acclaimed gothic author Sarah Perry to join us on Friday 9 November at Stylist Live, our three day Festival of Inspiration that brings the pages of Stylist to life with talks and workshops, as well as a live catwalk and shopping area. 

Perry will be giving us insight into how she honed her craft, her inspiration for her latest novel, Melmoth - and what books you should be reading in 2019 to keep you up at night.

You can see Perry on the Spark Stage at 16:25 on Friday 9 November - get tickets here

Joining Perry will be over 100 other speakers, taking to our four stages across the weekend (and a new take on our inspirational workshops), in a re-imagined and exclusive closed space, Thrive Studio.

We know you love The Style List, so once again we’ll be bringing it to life with a curated marketplace of 250 amazing brands, from independent jewellery brand Olivia and Pearl to cult skincare, Ren.

VIP ticket holders can take a break in our exclusive VIP Lounge, the ultimate day out. Be pampered with a free beauty treatment, rifle through your goody bag worth over £150, enjoy a bite to eat and sip on two free drinks. We’re spoiling you, right?

All tickets also include access to our Stylist Catwalk, where our editorial fashion team will be curating the latest a/w18 trends, shoppable straight from the high street.
