Horror Express + Q&A with author Mark Iveson

Hammer alumni and bona fide British horror royalty Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee reunite for this tale of mad monks, primitive humanoids and glowing-eyed zombies set aboard a train bound for Moscow, in what remains one of the most thrilling science fiction-horror efforts of the 70’s.

We’re pleased to be collaborating with TVFF, and will be joined by Mark Iveson, author of Peter Cushing, The Reluctant Globetrotter for a post-film Q+A, moderated by author Harry Pearson.

Many thanks for a wonderful time up in Hexham, I look forward to a return visit one of these years.

Thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful event last night. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed being back in beautiful Hexham - thank you for everything you and the team did to make it all run so smoothly.

I feel incredibly lucky to have this festival on my doorstep. It is world class.

Hexham Book festival is a leading creative force in the Northumbrian cultural landscape, with a positive impact on the lives of so many. Locally based, outward-facing, brilliantly organised, and recognised by writers and readers as one of the attractive and dynamic literary festivals.

Two words, absolutely fantastic. Really looking forward to next year!
