This Colourful, Dapper and Welcoming Gent

There’s a lovely review of Dark Matters over at Broken Frontier by Andy Oliver, who really seems to get a lot of what Sean and I were trying to achieve.  What’s he saying?  This sort of thing:

If you’ve ever met creator Douglas Noble in the flesh then you’ll know how disarming it is to realise this colourful, dapper and welcoming gent is the same chap who wrote such gloriously macabre and twisted fare as Wallace Sendek and Built of Blood and Bricks. It’s almost crushingly disappointing to discover that he’s not the leaky garret-dwelling, absinthe-swilling, wild-eyed reprobate with an unkempt beard of Brian Blessed proportions that you’d always visualised when reading his work. Under that genial demeanour, though, lurks a ghoulishly intelligent imagination…

That sort of thing. It’s terribly flattering.  Now, go and give it a read, then come back and buy yourself a copy.
