Cool creature feature
A very enjoyable horror as an ancient creature turns up at the Natural History Museum and runs amok. Quite gory and good SFX as well.

I enjoyed this book so much. It made me yearn for Paris. It was a ghost story with a touch of history and romance thrown in. So good.

"I love. It's just the most well-edited, brilliant one-liners from history and you can spend hours on a page or you can just flip through it."
