An Evening with Jon Barghest

Join us at or a dark and fascinating conversation with local Bristol author Jon Barghest, interviewed by Suki Broad, founder of the Bristol W Fantasy Writers group. Together they’ll explore Jon’s two novels, Bury Me Where They Fall and The Second Resurrection, delving into the inspirations behind his work and the themes that haunt it—mythology, mental health, grief, trauma, and cults—through a gritty dark fantasy lens.

The discussion will also lift the curtain on Jon’s publishing journey, including the realities of independent publishing and his experience with crowdfunding a novel. Expect an honest, insightful look at the creative process, the challenges of bringing dark stories to life, and what it takes to build an audience for strange and unsettling fiction.

Perfect for fans of fantasy, horror, folklore, and myth—and for writers curious about alternative publishing paths—this promises to be an atmospheric and engaging evening among the shelves.

You'll be able to purchase and have your books signed by the author during the event.
