The biggest event on my literary calendar is coming up. The Scream Literary Festival kicks off tomorrow night at the Gladstone. Readings and other events continue for a full week.
My favourite event outside the mainstage is Scream at the Toronto Women’s Bookstore on Thursday, featuring Sou Thammavongsa, Jemeni and Tamai Kobayashi.
The festival wraps up next Monday, July 10th with the Scream In High Park, a big reading at the outdoor stage usually used for the Shakespearean Dream in High Park. It features twelve readers (including Maggie MacDonald, whose band Republic of Safety played a Shameless launch once) and the occasional firefly. 7pm, PWYC, $10 suggested.
Check out the festival website for detailed event listings.

(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
