I've just read the story 'The Witch A La Mode' which DHL wrote when he was living 150 yards away from where I am now...& mentions Croydon's famous 'Swan & Sugar Loaf' pub!

Warming-up nicely...with some odd flourishes of creepiness...

The first story is clearly an autobiographical poke at Lawrence's sense of alienation from his working-class roots; a fire he was to put his literary poker into while contemplating the expensive knick-knacks on the mantel-piece! Ehh?

The first 'story' in this 4-piece ensemble is a wonderfully realised evocation of the writer's childhood house in Brisbane.He ruminates on the details that have remained in his memory with wonder & delight.

A first dose of crime award-winner Robinson...& it's a real page-turner...about a man with too much time on his hands..& sick of the Brontes!!

Enough already! God deliver me safe home from this painful saga of proto-feminism! My literary hands are firmly clutching my metaphorical manhood! The Bronte Sisters would be fun companions,eh boys?

Saw the film a few months ago & enjoyed its character studies.The novel hasn't disappointed in its early pages.

A slow-burner,this one! If the Bronte sisters were around today,I reckon they'd be well-up for a bit of nonsense in the rose-garden or hay-loft! Fifty Shades of shocking-pink or passionate-purple?! My tongue is in my cheek here!

Ava sure knew how to live it up! Even Francis A. couldn't handle her; manhandle her,yes...but she had such an appetite for devouring the meaty bits of men,she should have had her own abattoir! A real glutton for penishment?!

I'm hooked!Hole is not as grim as a hole in the head...but this is the 10th? in a series...so I'm joining the Nordic mayhem in a deep mid-winter! Sinister & creepy too!

Hong Kong Fooey? Not a bit of a it! Very good narrative drive,unaided by opium dens or jiggy-jiggy!
