Read
Gone Girl too on Cellar ref.
Loved it. Twists and turns and from me, verbal expressions of surprise and disbelief. Had to stop reading it after the 'rents went to bed because a nocturnal ejaculation of "WHAT?!" wouldn't be appreciated.
Great suggest, I agree.
And yes, got the hobo refs but wondered which came first - have we just been tapping into the zeitgeist?
Now reading
Anno Dracula by Kim Newman.
Loving it. So many sly refs I'm sure I'm missing some. I think I have most of the literary characters nailed, just not sure about all the real people. I admit to thinking I might make up a reference list as the cast is large and the names are so venerable.
This makes it sound more complex than it is, but I do like things ordered. And inhabiting a world so skillfully written is a pleasure. I want to wring every last drop. I've thought this about various books - and even the Cellar when I was a noob - but honestly? Never actually got round to it. I'll just read again. And maybe just Google it
