Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder. It makes people think you're dead. So begins Christopher Fowler's foray into the back catalogues and backstories of 99 authors who, once hugely popular, have all but disappeared from our shelves.

Christopher Fowler's memoir captures life in suburban London as it has rarely been seen: through the eyes of a lonely boy who spends his days between the library and the cinema, devouring novels, comics, and cereal packets - anything that might reveal a story.

For 15 years, Janet has been married to her devoted and boring husband, Trevor. But their marriage was not as simple as it seemed.

Or is there something far more sinister waiting for her at the crematorium?
