Andrew Cartmel is a novelist, playwright and screenwriter. His work for BBC television includes a legendary three year stint as the Script Editor on DOCTOR WHO. He has also been commissioned to write scripts for MIDSOMER MURDERS, DARK KNIGHT and TORCHWOOD. He has toured as a stand-up comedian and his stage play UNDER THE EAGLE was hailed by Time Out London as ‘bitingly funny’. Andrew Cartmel has had a number of novels published including a sequence of spy thrillers — OPERATION HEROD, EVENT DRIVEN and CLASS WAR — featuring his creation Rupert Hood. His latest novel, due out shortly, is WRITTEN IN DEAD WAX, first in a new series of noir thrillers featuring a seam of subversive humour, about the Vinyl Detective -- a record collector turned sleuth. The high octane (and heavy vinyl) sequels are THE RUN OUT GROOVE and VICTORY DISC.

This doesn't quite compare to the novels, but it's a nice little side story with magical black mould that inhabits a cleaning suit at one point and looks really, really creepy. This graphic novel has an illustration of the different works in the series drawn along a river at the back, and I have t...

I was looking forward to this so much I pre-ordered it three months in advance (something I'm not wont to do). When it finally arrived I was looking for a particular good moment to sit down with it and read it in one go. The comics of Rivers of London are a nice addition to the main series, althoug...

For years I've been following Peter Grant around as he manages his business with the Rivers of London and all other magical creatures in London. The comic series, for me, was the latest instalment and after some initial hesitation, I'm really glad I joined in on them. While they are (so far as I can...
