Press review for The Devil is a Gentleman: The Life and Times of Dennis Wheatley
"Here is a masterful account of a writer’s internal and external selves, revealing the degree to which any creative author’s life must necessarily be a work of fiction. Baker as a biographer, frankly, is some kind of God-damned life-archaeologist, approaching the famed occult novelist as a real,seriocomic man who was far more than the sum of his parts. It is difficult to imagine a more sensitive and knowledgeable investigation. Black magic stories? That was the least of it: the reader is left far more astonished by the magic Wheatley wove around his own life, as revealed by Baker. Superb, concise, insightful and sublime."
