| Creed (1990) | comment |
A 1990 novel by James Herbert.At the funeral of actress Lily Neverless, paparazzo Joe Creed awaits photo opportunities. On dispersal of the mourners, he sees an elderly man masturbate over the gravesite, which, to Creed’s bewildered disquiet, momentarily writhes, as if disturbed from beneath. He photographs the man, who turns to meet his gaze with a look of frightening penetration.That night, a press launch draws his eye to Cally McNally, who asks if Creed might garner some publicity for her boss. Woken in the early hours, Creed braves the stairs to his darkroom, where, petrified and perplexed by the intruder’s resemblance to the first onscreen Dracula, a fall downstairs knocks him unconscious.Investigation reveals the grave defiler to closely resemble Nicholas Mallik, a murderous occultist hanged just before World War II. Following a terrifyingly surreal encounter with his toilet, Creed finds a note demanding delivery of the incriminating photos. Cally entreats his compliance. Attempt to extort an exorbitant fee sees Creed chased home by the Orlok lookalike to find Sammy, his visiting ten-year-old son, suddenly absent...Not to be confused with the 2015 film. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Jovially averted, with cameos from George Melly, Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson. Aleister Crowley is depicted as having undergone occultic experimentation with the fictional Big Bad. | |

| Creed (1990) / int_234073a4 | comment |
Your Mind Makes It Real: At the Mountjoy masque, many of the Fallen Angels, infused by collective faith, adapt forms traditionally accredited to their demonic progenitors. These evoke Frankenstein’s monster, a werewolf, and various fusions of man and beast. | |
