A reminder that we have Martin Conaghan and Will Pickering coming to our Edinburgh store on Southbridge tomorow - Thursday January 28th – to sign copies of their recently published Burke and Hare graphic novel (reviewed here by Richard); for those with a literary bent and a fascination for history the boys will also be taking part shortly after the signing in a talk on the infamous historical Edinburgh murderers who slaughtered victims to sell to the medical school for dissection. The talk is organised by Edinburgh Central Library and Insomnia Publications and takes place in the library (on George IV Bridge, only a few minutes stroll from the FP shop in the heart of the historic Old Town), commencing at 6pm. You can read a Q&A with Martin and Will along with them talking us through some of the pages from the book here on the blog.

This looks incredibly interesting. Being a huge history buff myself, i would love to delve deeper into the psyches of these two murderers!
