Garth Marenghi: This Bursted Earth Book Tour

Comedy
Thursday 6th November 2025

Standard Theatre Seated | Strictly 14+

Horror author Nick Steen is having visions… A sinister Black Steeple; eerie lights in the sky that look like a Catherine wheel but are not remotely a Catherine wheel… Plus a giant skeleton with a moustache. Are they omens? Auguries? Portendings of things to come? (Spoiler – yes, they are).

For Nick Steen’s imagination is bursting out of his brain and threatening to burst in turn the entirety of Stalkford.

Can Nick stop the aforesaid bursting? Or have things already slightly burst regardless? And will there ultimately be a grand finale to this three-book series (aka a trilogy) or a more open-ended conclusion in order to leave potential room for further sequels? (That, btw, will ultimately be Garth’s decision.)

From the fevered imagination of Horror Fiction’s Grand Frightener Garth Marenghi, author of Sunday Times-bestselling Garth Marenghi’s TerrorTome and Garth Marenghi’s Incarcerat, come three freshly rancid tales of…

…THIS BURSTED EARTH…

“So dense with brilliant jokes that it cannot safely be read while drinking hot liquid” Inews.co.uk
“Puts the ‘boo’ into book tour” The Guardian
“Had the crowd hooting and hanging, insatiably, on every line.” The Telegraph
“Seriously, buy this book.” ThisisHorror.co.uk
“A pitch-perfect parody of terrible genre writing” Chortle

Hardback copies of This Bursted Earth will be available for purchase on the day. Be warned: signings are strictly time-limited. You’ll get no more than one minute with the world’s greatest Frighternerman, Darkscribe, Doomsage (plus Man-Shee) before you’re moved on and/or manhandled.
