Where do you get your ideas from?

This is the single most-asked question at book shop readings and literary festivals, one so over-familiar as to induce embarrassed cringing on the part of the seasoned event-goer, but for that, one that is seldom honestly answered. For one night only, Christopher Brookmyre will ‘fess up’ and reveal the voices behind the voices in his head, citing his inspirations, from Asterix to Aristophanes, James Bond to Billy Connolly.

    Pandaemonium - Christopher Brookmyre - Hardback
    The senior pupils of St Peter's High School are on retreat to a secluded outdoor activity centre, coming to terms with the murder of a fellow pupil. Not so far away, the commanders of a top-secret military experiment fear they may have unleashed the forces of Hell. Two very different worlds are on a collision course.
