Well, what a macabre lot the Telltale readers are. This May’s event saw a great night at the Falmouth Townhouse unfold, with suicide attempts, injured birds, uncomfortable parental relationships, terrorist attacks and much more read out.

Despite the lovely sunny weather the venue was packed and the inspiring programme, with work from across the writing spectrum, brought new faces to the Telltales lineup and audience. A real success.

The next Telltales: XVIII is on the 29 June from 7pm at the Falmouth Townhouse and the theme is Exodus.

So get your thinking caps on and get submitting…
