Replying to @thegentleauthor
Oh ! That sounds so wonderful ! Wish I could join you. Side note: I learned a lot of obscure London history from reading the Bryant & May mysteries by the late author Christopher Fowler ( @peculiar ) who made London an integral part of his story telling.

Ahh bless. I always loved that picture!
Going through some old portraits and came across this one, of many, of @Peculiar, hadn’t done his portrait in quite a few years before his passing, he was a joy both to work with and be with, missed I’m sure by all who knew him

I’ve not seen this. Will go hunt it down…
Out now - this wonderful tribute to Simon Brett from The Detection Club in the form of @medwardsbooks, @MichaelJecks, @lenctyler, @kateellisauthor, @radiomukhers, @FrancesBrody, @Peculiar and more - and a Charles Paris story by Simon himself. classicmystery.blog/2025/03/…

This week and every week - but especially this week - I wholeheartedly recommend you curl up with a copy of this glorious, riotous, fantastic and fantastical book, @peculiar’s final novel, #TheFootOnTheCrown. ‘Gormenghast’ with lots of laughs; myths and lies and London!

As someone who walked the streets of London with the late Christopher Fowler, there was never any doubt that he was an inveterate lover of the city throughout the ages, as The Foot on the Crown shows - and there is more posthumous work to come. crimetime.co.uk/the-foot-on-…

I was reminded today that @peculiars dedication is for all of you: his readers, his fans, bloggers, interviewers, film colleagues, fellow authors, friends, family and the generally creatively wonderful misfits who inspired him… ❤️

Raising a glass tonight to my old friend Chris Fowler, whose last, weirdest and most disturbingly funny book, THE FOOT ON THE CROWN, launches today. @Peculiar, you did it again…
