What a magnificent, insightful and informative review. A magnificent piece of work, and I think DW would have been delighted to read it. Absolutely; a really good resource for future reference. I had forgotten much of the detail of this book, although I read it for the first time not much more than...

Unfortunately, I understand that the whereabouts of the ownership of the screen rights for The Devil Rides Out, and possibly To The Devil A Daughter are current unknown. Am I right in thinking that the late Christopher Lee co-owned with Hammer Films the rights to these two books, along with those t...

Richard, any chance of seeing this work, or are you one of those authors that like to keep it all under wraps until it is finished? Very happy indeed to share it, Alan, but as it's nearly finished (as in, 42 out of 50 chapters done, or c. 140,000 out of c. 180,000 words) I'll keep it under wraps fo...

Likewise, many happy returns to Sir Christopher, a marvellous actor and, by all accounts, an exceptionally nice person as well, and a true gentleman. His filmography is extraordinary, a scarcely credible 207 films since 1948, and still working today. One of the most iconic Draculas ever, an excellen...

Thanks, Ian. I just one-clicked that onto my Kindle, and will enjoy checking it out. I'm writing an occult thriller of my own at the moment, as it happens, just for the fun of it (116,000 words and 36 chapters in, only 14 left to go!), also with a bit of a Crowley theme. In as much as it's set in th...

The point about DW writing out of economic necessity and using the writing process to live his feasting fantasies is interesting, and thank you for the Evelyn Waugh comparison - I didn't know that. And it is probably one of the rare occasions that those two authors are compared. I don't know if Wau...

I'll just use this as an excuse to say that The Devil Rides Out is a classic novel. This is a shocking revelation, I know. It has atmosphere, suspense and a grand sense of adventure. The film version is one I would actually like to see remade, but not because the original was bad, rather because so...
