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. ==Bibliography== ===Books=== *''A Chorus of Raspberries: British Film Comedy, 1929-1939'' (University of Exeter Press, 2000), ISBN 085989603X ===Articles=== * "The Enfield Poltergeist Case" (2003) ''[[Fortean Times]]'' #166, about the [[Enfield Poltergeist]] * "Surreality TV: The Ghostwatch Flap" (2003) ''[[Fortean Times]]'' #166, about the controversy caused by [[Stephen Volk]]'s ''[[Ghostwatch]]'' * "King of Kings" (2003) ''[[Fortean Times]]'' #166, about the cult of [[Elvis Presley]] * "Bodyguard of Lies" (2004) ''[[Fortean Times]]'' #185, about the Allies' [[D-Day]] deception plans * "The Ultimate in Adventure" (2006) ''[[Fortean Times]]'' #206, about [[Merian C.
