Things are getting a little darker in Calgary this October, and Wicked Ink Publishing is ready to join the fun.
On Thursday, October 29, 2026, we’ll be heading to cSpace Marda Loop for The Spooktacular Book Bazaar, presented by the Alexandra Writers’ Centre Society (AWCS) and Frank’s Haunted Book Society.
Taking place just days before Halloween, The Spooktacular Book Bazaar brings together readers, authors, publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, and purveyors of all things spooky for an evening celebrating books, storytelling, and the darker side of the literary world. And, of course, Wicked Ink Publishing will be there.
Find Your Next Wicked Read
If your bookshelves could use something a little darker this Halloween, make sure you stop by the Wicked Ink Publishing table.
We’ll be bringing along a selection of Wicked Ink titles for readers to browse and purchase throughout the evening. Whether you gravitate toward horror, psychological thrillers, mysteries, dark fantasy, science fiction, or stories that simply venture into the strange and unsettling, there will be plenty to discover.
It’s also a chance to meet the Wicked Ink team, talk books, learn more about our authors and upcoming releases, and find a new story to take home with you.
There’s something particularly fitting about spending an October evening surrounded by books and fellow readers who aren’t afraid of stories that venture into the dark.
🎃 The Spooktacular Book Bazaar 2026
The evening will feature authors, booksellers, publishers, literary organizations, and specialty vendors, giving readers the chance to browse books, meet members of Calgary’s literary community, and uncover plenty of spooky finds along the way.
Whether you arrive looking for your next great read or simply want to spend an evening immersed in books and Halloween atmosphere, there will be plenty waiting for you.
Part of the cSpace Halloween Showcase
The Spooktacular Book Bazaar is also part of the cSpace Halloween Showcase, with additional Halloween events and activities taking place throughout the building.
That means your visit doesn’t have to end when you’ve finished browsing the books. Explore cSpace, see what else is happening throughout the evening, and make a night of celebrating Halloween in Marda Loop.
Come Say Hello
We love getting the chance to meet readers face to face, and we’re looking forward to spending another evening out in Calgary’s literary community.
Stop by the Wicked Ink Publishing table, say hello, browse our books, talk stories with us, and perhaps leave with something new for your Halloween reading list.
We’ll see you at The Spooktacular Book Bazaar on October 29.
Come for the books. Stay for the strange. See you among the dark and twisted.
