I mean, if you have a top job & run away to a shepherd's hut rather than negotiate with other European countries when things don't go your way, obviously you're a shoe-in for Foreign Secretary.

I picked this up because I vaguely remember reading a couple of the Necroscope novels as a teenager. The kindest thing one can say is that it romps along. Lumley is jolly keen on exclamation marks. On the plus side, I have learned that Cthulhu has a daughter called Cthylla.

'Sexism' was born the same year as I was. There's a thing.

'Vatican reversal' sounds like one of those sex positions which look great in books, but ends up dislocating knees when you try it.

How the fuck did this happen? If capitalism doesn't manage to turn anything that's good into shit, they can always rely on the art establishment to help them along.

Bradshaw is unusually on the nose here. The hospital scenes tore me apart. After that, the Satanic shenanigans were not so bad.

Austin Osman Spare. I'm fascinated by what that book is doing in the middle of the picture. It's not like Spare was one to shy away from depicting genitalia.

This is a fun read: it gives the lie to the myth that We Were All in This Together during WW2. If you had the right contacts, not only could you eat & drink well, you could also fly off on a 'diplomatic mission' to meet your boyfriend for a Middle East shagathon & spot of antique buying.
