Stop Press: Zombies in Finchley.

Wednesday 20th May at 7.00 - 9.00pm
Friern Barnet Community Library,
Friern Barnet Road, N11 3DS

Mike Carey

In a post-apocalyptic era, Finchley and its environs has been taken over by zombies. Here is your chance to meet a few, but your safety is assured with our automatic e-blocker.

Join us for a spectacular evening with Mike Carey reading from his critically acclaimed book, The Girl With All the Gifts, with some dramatic assistance from you, the audience. Later in the programme Mike will be interviewed about his work by John Paul O'Malley. 

Come dressed as a zombie and mix with the real ones or just come as yourself, but as an incentive there will be prizes for the best dressed zombies.

Entry is free but donations are appreciated to help us keep the real zombies under control.
