Poor Baxter was still pressing for payment in 1823, a claim dismissed airily by Byron with the words, 'Baxter must wait - at least a year.' Presumably the bill was still unsettled when Byron died in Greece in April 1824. The hill from Baxter the coach-maker amounted to £500. Drawn by four or six horses, it was nothing less than a small palatial residence on wheels. This purpose-built coach, a de luxe version of the Emperor Napoleon's own celebrated carriage captured at Genappe, included not only Byron's lit de repos but his travelling library, his plate-chest and facilities for dining. One of the sights of Europe in 1816 was the lurching progress of the self-exiled Lord Byron as he travelled from Brussels to Geneva and on to Italy in his monumental black Napoleonic carriage. They were the only residents, there was no mains electricity or water and access to the mainland was at low tide across the shore. Soon after they married, Tim was appointed as warden of Hilbre, a tiny tidal island nature reserve in the Dee Estuary. She was attracted less by the ornithology than the bottle of malt whisky she saw in his rucksack when she showed him his room. While she was cooking in the Bird Observatory on Fair Isle, she met her husband Tim, a visiting ornithologist. After dropping out of university she took a number of temporary jobs - child care officer, women's refuge leader, bird observatory cook, auxiliary coastguard - before going back to college and training to be a probation officer.

You may know Jonathan from his audio podcast, The Magnus Files, where Jonathan narrates stories as the archivist of strange tales, and I can see that this would work very well in that format. Each of the thirteen guests tells a story here, until the end where things connect for a final conclusion. They did not know each other, nor had met Fell before that evening. We are told that on the night of his death Fell had a meal with thirteen invited guests, all seemingly unconnected to himself.

Terror’s House of Horrors (1965) will know what I mean. I used to love these anthologies as movies too – anyone who has seen old Amicus movies such as Tales from the Crypt (1972), Asylum (1972) or Dr. Thirteen Stories is a great example of an anthology novel – one where a number of stories are connected together by a framing story.
