Ross Mackenzie Reads from His Children’s Book, Feast of the Evernight

Damian Barr’s Literary Salon tempts the world’s best writers to read exclusively from their latest greatest works and share their own personal stories. Star guests include Jojo Moyes, John Waters, Yaa Gyasi, Mary Beard, Diana Athill and Louis de Bernières—all in front of a live audience at leading glamorous locations world-wide. Our London home is the Savoy. Suave Salonnière Damian Barr is your host.

For a change of pace we’re featuring our very first children’s book on the Lit Salon podcast! As a special treat, all this month we’ll be featuring children’s and YA books, selecting titles for kids and adults who are kids at heart.

We’re kicking things off with the riveting fantasy novel Feast of the Evernight by Ross Mackenzie (suitable for ages 9+). With the events of the Evernight behind her, Lara must now face a new threat as a series of murders take place and Lara’s friend Double Eight is the prime suspect. Ross is a fantastic author, previously shortlisted for the Scottish Teenage Book Prize and nominated for the coveted Carnegie Medal, and we’re thrilled to share his special reading with you.
