Author's new book celebration at Derbyshire video shop

Andrew Hawnt, author of VHS Ate My Brain, will be special guest at Straight To Video - 80s Video Shop in Alfreton on Saturday, June 17, 2023.

Cult film geek Andrew Hawnt will be making a guest appearance at a Derbyshire store to celebrate the new edition of his book about VHS movies.

Andrew is releasing a revised edition of VHS ATE MY BRAIN, which was first released nearly 10 years ago. It’s the chronicle of a life spent in front of too many bad movies (and a few good ones) and appreciating them as art – because nobody else will.

He will celebrate the launch of his new book at Straight To Video – 80s Video Shop in King Street, Alfreton, on Saturday, June 17. Copies of Andrew’s book will be available, there will be a Q&A and horrible trailers in the shop’s screening room. The event runs from 7pm until 10pm and it is free entry.

Straight To Video – 80s Video Shop is an authentic recreation of an old school video rental shop - part museum and part movie gift shop.
