Hexham Book Festival Hexham Book Festival & Macmillan Publishers

Macmillan Proof Party

  • Wednesday 7 May, 7.45pm
  • Tickets From £14
  • Main Theatre
Macmillan

A special opportunity to get your hands on early copies of two of the most exciting young new novelists of 2025: Thirst Trap by Grainne O’Hare and One Yellow Eye by Leigh Radford. 

Thirst Trap is a wildly original and brilliantly assured debut set in modern Belfast: full of the pain, joy and bad decisions arising from young friendship, grief and bad house shares. 

One Yellow Eye is full of heartbreak, revulsion and black humour, as a scientist desperately searches for a cure to a zombie virus while also hiding a monumental secret – her undead husband. 

Attendees will each receive special proof copies of the novels to take home. 

Presented in partnership with Macmillan Publishers. 

In conversation with Liv Chapman
