Forget everything you think you know about a book event…
Villains & Vices is an immersive, Halloween-inspired night for readers who like their stories dark, their villains deliciously questionable, and their book boyfriends very much alive… or so we thought. 👀
Step into a world of dark romance, thriller, mystery and mayhem as we attempt to solve the ultimate literary crime:
Who killed the book boyfriend?
Expect a night packed with authors, bookish vendors, a murder mystery, games, prizes, photo opportunities and plenty of opportunities to indulge your darker side.
Whether you’re obsessed with morally grey men, secretly rooting for the villain, love a good murder mystery, or simply want a ridiculously fun night out with fellow book lovers, Villains & Vices is where you belong.
Come for the books.
Stay for the chaos.
Solve the murder… if you can. 🔪🖤
