Shame about the disappointing film but anybody interested in London, Jack the Ripper or the occult would do well to read the novel.

I'm pretty sure it's the best thing Alan Moore has done

It's probably a bit more light hearted but I can't see film rights in the offing

Still, I imagine they'd cast James Corden in the title role and we'd all end up self harming to get out of the cinema

He and the intellectual titan that is Daymee Wendapp seem to bestride the TV world like inane, advertiser friendly Colossues nowadays.

I think it's only a matter of time before they take over Newsnight Review

At least Brand, or failing that Bertrand, or failing that Grant

Based around Hawksmoor's churches, gritty old victorian london, lovely stuff.
