A Night of Stories and Poems will be an event where many writers from Peterborough will read their hard work. The readings include stories such as a man with a knife who confronts another man and accuses him of being a different person—a narrative journey through a grocery store which reveals the minute details of people—a cinema burns—a curse is placed upon three friends as they speed through Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The reading also includes many poems, poems that deal with bats and their intrinsic connection to the world and by extension, us—poems about internet atrocities—gambling—loyalty—friendship—death and grief.

Readers include: Graham Wylie, Geeta Narine, Alex Deng, Chancellor McGuigan, Kade Davies, Sarah Waldner, Dante Pettapiece, and Shaun Phuah
