Cassandra Clare made her fiction debut with The Mortal Instruments series, which has been on many bestseller lists. She will be appearing in conversation with the High Warlock of Brooklyn (YA author Leanne Hall) for one night only.

There will be prizes for the best dressed – come along as your favourite vampire, shadow hunter, warlock or werewolf. Cassandra will be signing books following the event, however if you can’t make it on the night and would still like a book signed by Cassandra you can order them here.

The Westgarth theatre’s cafe bar will be open from 5.30pm.

This event is part of the Reading Matters conference and entry to this event is not included in the conference registration.

This event is sponsored by Readings, Walker Books, the Centre for Youth Literature and Melbourne Writers Festival.

We welcome gold coin donations at all Readings events, with proceeds going to the Readings Foundation.

All welcome. Please book on (03) 9347 6633 or by email. or RSVP on Facebook.
