Guy Adams is the author of the novels The World House and its sequel Restoration. He gave up acting five years ago to become a full time writer. He has since written bestselling humour titles based on TV’s Life on Mars, Torchwood novels and two new Sherlock Holmes adventures, The Breath of God and The Army of Doctor Moreau. He also recently novelised the Hammer film Kronos and his latest book, Hands of the Ripper, is another in the same vein. When This Is Horror’s John Llewellyn Probert found out that Mr Adams may have included him as a thinly-disguised character in the latter, he wasted no time in getting to the bottom of things with Mr Adams, as the following interview testifies.
