Format:Paperback
This book is, in fact, the first 'Bryant and May' book. It's plot and characters were later rewritten as 'The Seventy Seven Clocks'. I thought at first that I had discovered a previously unheard of Bryant and May book, but the plot is virtually identical! I'd stick with the later book as the characters are subtly different in this one which makes for a slightly uneasy read for anyone who has read the rest of the series.

Not his best book by far but still entertaining and full of pro-London trivia and history. The ending is a massive suspension of disbelief but the whole story is well paced and contains the usual motley crew of characters that populate most of C.F.'s London based stories. Better books are Psychoville and Disturbia.

Format:Paperback
Probably one of the best books I've ever read... Gripping, scary as hell, hilarious at turns, with a plot so deliciously complex it puts all other horror novels to shame. If you have not read this book, you're being very unfair to yourself.

Utterly absorbing
This book had me in its grip from the first page, as the chilly, "something-is-about-to-happen" atmosphere surrounds the reader throughout. Read more
