A Gift of Nightmares

About A Gift of Nightmares

Storyteller Inés Álvarez Villa will share two stories of her own creation. These gothic horror tales will take you on a journey from the high seas, where a Spanish galleon becomes a vessel of terror, to packed concert halls, where obsession dances hand in hand with the enchanting melodies of violins. It will be eery, vivid, and full of dark wonder!

All Edinburgh Horror Festival events at the Banshee Labyrinth are over 18 only and ID may be requested. Late admission is at the discretion of the act, and many do not allow late admission so please arrive ten minutes early.
