What’s your favourite festive tradition? Mince pies? Carols? …Ghost stories?

The Victorians popularised telling scary stories during the Christmas season and as a newspaper that proudly draws our journalistic lineage from that era, we thought what better way to celebrate this season than with an evening of horror?

You’re cordially invited to join The Post team and one of Liverpool’s favourite literary sons, Ramsey Campbell, in the suitably gothic settings of St Michael-in-The-Hamlet Church on 12 December.

The award-winning writer will be joining us for a reading from one of his celebrated books, before we settle down for a discussion about Ramsey’s work in horror, the genre’s connection to Liverpool and why Christmas is such a strangely spooky time of year… There will also be a Q&A to follow.

Tickets are £6 for Post supporters and £7 for non-members; all are very welcome. Doors open 7.30pm, event starts at 7.45pm, with the discussion and Q&A lasting roughly an hour.

Today's piece: For Bootle, The Strand is more than just a shopping destination ✏️

It’s safe to say the past 20 years have not been good for our once bustling shopping centres. And perhaps nowhere is this more evident than Bootle’s New Strand, a once thriving retail hub in Sefton visited by over 120,000 people a week in its heyday of the 1990s.

As one of the most memorable markers of Bootle, its continued decline in recent decades has led to many residents feeling resentful, raising uncertain questions about its future and place within the town.

In today’s Answers in The Post, Abi digs into the history of The Strand, and if its slow decline has contributed towards a rise in anti-immigration sentiment ⬇️
