'''David Sutton''' is the current editor of the [[Fortean Times]] magazine. He was born in 1966 in [[Canterbury]], [[Kent]], and was educated at the [[University of East Anglia]], [[University College London]], [[Birkbeck, University of London|Birkbeck College]] and the [[British Film Institute]]. He holds a doctorate, earned for his thesis on the origins and progress of [[British film]] [[comedy]], and is the author of the book ''A Chorus of Raspberries: British Film Comedy, 1929-1939''.
Although Sutton is not generally considered an author of the [[Cthulhu Mythos]], his short story "Demoniacal" inspired a sequel written by [[Brian Lumley]] entitled "The Kiss of Bugg-Shash" which claimed that the entity in "Demoniacal" had been a Great Old One named Bugg-Shash, which Lumley further described. Sutton is therefore one of a handful of authors who has been retroactively incorporated into the list of Mythos authors without having ever set out to connect his writings to those of Lovecraft et al.
