It's been suggested that Rolt inspired Aickman to write horror stories. I've read one story by Rolt and it was pretty good.

Brandreth creeps me out. I think he's in the lowest of the lowest section of the Illuminati.

This just arrived from Amazon, and I'm about half way through - it's quite short but that's because (mercifully) the author doesn't go over everything with a fine tooth comb because he's only trying to prove that Charles Lechmere aka Charles Cross was the killer. He's the guy who 'found' the body of the first victim. So far Holmgren is making a compelling case, based largely on the inconsistencies of the witness evidence given at the inquests for first murder - but sometimes I wonder if this isn't a product of a lack of rigour in Victorian times around legal proceedings, than anything more sinister. Holmgren also links these murders with another set of murders that happened at the same time - it'll be interesting to see how makes the connection (from memory Bruce Robinson thought the same thing in We All Love Jack).
