Burnaby Public Library will feature an award-winning, internationally renowned storyteller at a virtual event this month.
Prolific Tlicho Dene author Richard Van Camp will read from his work Scariest. Story. Ever. from Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology on April 27.
After the reading, he will discuss the practice of traditional Indigenous storytelling and there will be time for a Q+A session.
The workshop, presented as part of Connect Fest Burnaby, is geared to teens aged 13 to 19; adults are also welcome.
ASL interpretation will be provided.
From Fort Smith, N.W.T., Van Camp is the author of 28 books in "just about every genre," according to the event description.
In 2023, he received the Order of the Northwest Territories.
Van Camp's 1996 novel The Lesser Blessed was made into a film of the same name in 2012.
