    Excellent! Thanks for the recommendations, David. I’ve read some of them – and I’m kicking myself for not putting the wonderful Dlugos collection on my Best Of list (I have such a bad memory these days: fuck you, YouTube) but there are some that I’ve been tempted by and have yet sprung for, so your praise is gonna be the final nudge I need. Interested to check out The Necrophiliac.
