Author talk: Karen Hamilton

Step inside the ‘House of Horrors’ with author Karen Hamilton.

Tuesday 21 April, 6-7:30pm

Enter the chilling world of Fred and Rose West with Karen Hamilton, author of Nightmare on Cromwell Street. At just 18, Karen lived in the infamous ‘House of Horrors’ in the United Kingdom – sleeping upstairs while unimaginable crimes were happening beneath her. The experience haunted her for decades.

Join Karen as she shares her incredible true story, reveals the chilling secrets of the West family, and discusses the journey of writing her debut memoir, Nightmare on
Cromwell Street.

A perfect night out for true crime enthusiasts!

Stay for the Q&A and book signing, a special opportunity to meet the author and hear firsthand accounts of life inside one of the world’s most notorious crime houses.

Karen will appear in conversation with her publisher Jessica Mudditt, founder of local hybrid publisher Hembury Books.

Light refreshments will be served.

This event is brought to you by City of Canterbury-Bankstown in partnership with Hembury Books.
