by Christopher Fowler

As is my usual wont, there are several Easter Eggs hidden in the book. Not all of the chapter titles come from before 1969; they’re meant to provide a soundtrack of the period – all except one, that is. Provide the explanation on my website, christopherfowler.co.uk, and I’ll send you something as a reward. You can also find me on Twitter @peculiar.
