520    Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder. It makes 
       people think you're dead. So begins Christopher Fowler's 
       foray into the back catalogues and backstories of 99 
       authors who, once hugely popular, have all but disappeared
       from our shelves. Whether male or female, domestic or 
       international, flash-in-the-pan or prolific, mega-seller 
       or prize-winner - no author, it seems, can ever be fully 
       immune from the fate of being forgotten. And Fowler, as 
       well as remembering their careers, lifts the lid on their 
       lives, and why they often stopped writing or disappeared 
       from the public eye. These 99 journeys are punctuated by 
       12 short essays about faded once-favourites: including the
       now-vanished novels Walt Disney brought to the screen, the
       contemporary rivals of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie
       who did not stand the test of time, and the women who 
       introduced us to psychological suspense many decades 
       before it conquered the world. This is a book about books 
       and their authors. It is for book lovers, and is written 
       by one who could not be a more enthusiastic, enlightening 
       and entertaining guide.
