AND THE MURDERER IS..? WHEN ARE SPOILERS ACCEPTABLE?
(This Article first appeared in 'Red Herrings' issue 821)
In the summer of 2018 a live streaming platform called ‘Twitch’ had a Dr Who marathon. All 500+ episodes from the old series were played on smartphones to an audience of Generation Alphas. It was incredible fun watching the youngsters go ‘omigerd!’ and ‘WTF!!!!’ in real time to creaky old black and white stories.

| After a few decades of densely packed grimness with Swamp Thing, Watchmen, etc, Alan Moore rediscovers fun. We're never going to get back to the heady days of DR and Quinch and the Bojeffries Saga, but this is as breezy, and - yes - as silly as he's ...more | |

| This is not a disaster, but it is disappointing. The premise is interesting (a bunch of disparate hoodlums trying to excavate Pablo Escobar's treasure from under his old house), and there are great snatches of prose, but the chapters are too short an ...more | |

| I think Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen are my favourite stories of his current work, because he's obviously having fun. There are very few artists where you worry about how THEY are feeling making the work, rather than how YOU are fee ...more | |

Well it's certainly meandering and full of metaphysical claptrap, but that's Swamp Thing. You might as well complain about Superman being nice. It's an interesting take on the Swamp Thing story, doing a bit of Frankenstein, where Alec Holland is sepa ...more |

| I've always enjoyed Charles Paris, and I accept with alacrity its cheery formula. This is somewhat different. Simon has rolled up his sleeves and put Charles and his battle with alcoholism in the centre of the book. This daring intertwining of a stan ...more | |

| This is Harris at his best, taking a momentous slice of history and using an intimate story of a handful of people as a lens through which to tell it, and for once, this intimate story is largely fact. It's the measure of good historical fiction that ...more | |

“Do not light candles in shops. That is an invisible rule. An invisible rule is a rule that no one tells you about until you break it, and then everyone gets cross and tells you shouldn’t have broken the rule, even though they did not tell you the rule, it is always a very important rule.”

I Love the Peter Grant books, I especially love the Koba audiobooks of them. I did however find the latest book a more plodding affair than the first 4 books, all 5 star books for me.
