Margaret Storey Knihy
Margaret Storeyová je autorkou několika knih pro děti, které ovlivnily i Neila Gaimana. Její díla byla ceněna pro svou schopnost zaujmout mladé čtenáře a podnítit jejich fantazii. Ačkoliv jsou její knihy dnes již hůře dostupné, její vliv na dětskou literaturu a na autory jako Gaiman zůstává patrný. Storeyová psala často ve spolupráci s Jill Staynesovou, přičemž obě autorky využívaly pseudonymy k rozlišení své tvorby.

SOME GUESTS DON'T KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE... The party at the Manor had been a smash, and rock star Ken Cryer was feeling, well pleased... until he found golden Alix Hamilton in his bed. Despite her seductive pose, Alix didn't fancy Ken, or anyone else. She was dead—shot twice, with two different guns, in a room Cryer had specifically locked against intruders. For Superintendent Robert Bone, these were only the first complications in a case that would include champagne corks that masked the sound of gunfire, a missing, suspect, a stolen religious artifact, an orphaned cat, and the unexpected assistance of one very pretty biology teacher. But it would take a second body to lead Bone, at last, to the unrepentant murderer...
