![]() ![]() ![]() Delano runs through the full lifestyle process and drawbacks before heading into the main story. This is a sympathetic treatment of a group still vilified by Britain’s right wing press, kindly, welcoming and somewhat disorienting for Constantine, whose usual defence mechanisms are shrugged off. Like ‘The Horrorist’ in The Devil You Know, this is a story that begins with Constantine removed from his comfort zone, roughing it in the countryside, where he becomes involved with a travelling community. When John Constantine muses “I need something to kick my arse and get me moving… to give me a jolt”, he should be more careful what he wishes for. His work over the two previous collections had included a healthy dose of social commentary, and this looks at new age beliefs. The Fear Machine is Jamie Delano thinking outside the box about forms of horror. ![]()

Having said that, Madam, Will You Talk is an enjoyable, escapist romp and I did enjoy it. And I really wish someone had thought to edit out the (one occurrence) of the g-word. It brought all of the loose ends of the story together. Madam, Will You Talk was written in 1955 and unfortunately it shows, particularly in the way anyone who is not white, British, and middle-class is described.

I was a little kind of oh, please tell me this is not happening. The plot and world building were phenomenal. If I ever want to write sexy scenes I better bookmark these!
