This might be an unfair review - at this time last year I was reading Edward Parnell's "Ghostland," a sort of overview of British horror tied in to the author's own life, and so I'm mentally comparing them despite them being about such different things. Green writes very beautifully, about compelling subjects. But I was kind of hoping to get a bit more of his life in there - at the very start of the book he mentions the turbulence of his own life while writing this book, and I was hoping that might be a part of it. Regardless, a neat pop history with some truly beautiful parts
