Watching Murders In the Rue Morgue (Robert Florey, 1932) and marvelling at the cute little ape letterhead on the writing paper of Dr. Mirakle (Bela Lugosi), Dr. Mirakle who is abducting women and injecting them with ape blood in order to create a mate for his murderous sideshow ape. Pre Code, yes.

I would love for someone to write the YA novel (or series of novels) where a well-dressed teenager with a love for classic detective fiction actually *is* called in by the French authorities to help solve improbable crimes.
Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...
Fedora man unmasked: Meet the teen behind the Louvre mystery photo
Fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux has become an internet sensation after an Associated Press photo captured him outside the Louvre on the day of a crown jewels heist.

The cover has landed for the 2nd #CuraePrize anthology. A selection of fiction, nonfiction & poetry written by unpaid carers, a strangely marginalised group. It’s rare that our voices are amplified, but we’re here holding up our loved ones & growing in unexpected ways. Out 15/11. @renardpress.com

In todays memory lane jaunt it was exactly 50 yrs ago that Pier Paolo Pasolini was murdered. It was also the day my BA Humanities lot set off on a 1 week field trip to Llandrindod Wells. Pasolini's death was my opening conversational gambit to the girl I sat next to on the coach. #winningsmile #gsoh

It's my last BBC Radio 3 Sound of Cinema tomorrow, and I will be saying a proper goodbye. So tomorrow's show is an argument for the intellectual depth and richness of the film music, and how it should never be treated like wallpaper. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Really enjoying the audiobook of Martin Latham's The Bookseller's Tale, read by Roy McMillan. Lots of wonderful stuff in there. And I discovered he and I joined Waterstones in the same year, 1988 - he in High Street Ken, me in Charing X Road. I did a few weeks at HSK so our paths must have crossed.

Quite a niche request, but does anyone know where I can find a complete, reliable translation of St John Chrysostom's Christmas Day sermon in 386? (I can see a few online, but I'm not sure how full or how accurate they are.)

Despite selling out our entire run in York, London sales for THE SIGNAL-MAN & THE TRIAL FOR MURDER are still a bit slow. We've got six showings between 31st October and 2nd November. A very classic Halloween treat, I'd argue - and in Charles Dickens's (probably definitely haunted) house!
