Night After Night by Phil Rickman
3.0
Rickman stole my story! Many years ago, while recovering from a road accident, I acquainted myself with daytime television and uncovered a whole new world of Jeremy Kyle, Loose Women - and a place where Most Haunted is top of the food chain. Most Haunted with Yvette Fielding, perpetually in infra red, mouth wide open screaming at dust floating on the air and that ridiculous scouser making Doris Stokes look like Houdini on a daily basis. I started wondering about a story involving slebs locked up in a reality tv hellhole, where the hatred turns to murder. Should have got writing it really, with all that time with my feet up...
Anyway, here's valiant Phil with a reliable tale of celebrity mayhem, claustrophobia and violence, with the usual trademarks of steadily building tension, twists and turns and the dramatic and slightly disturbing finale. Big Other is a neat conceit and the link to some rather sordid history about Katharine Parr is well handled. It's solid, workmanlike stuff that satisfies an itch and I can't knock it - I wish I'd written it and I'd rather be reading this than watching Big Brother.
