Every so often people send me interesting stuff. In this particular case it is a first graphic novel from the acclaimed children’s writer, Marcus Sedgwick. it is called Dark Satanic Mills, and it imagines a Britain sliding slowly and inexorably into a Fascist dictatorship backed by religious fundamentalism.

As I say in my review, this is not a new story. It is, however, a story that we have to trot out every now and then least people forget. Today is a good day for remembering things. The book was published late last week so it should be in the shops by now.
