The river, as the Romans knew, meant the riches of the world could be shipped directly to its ravenous mouth. London has controlled the world for many of the years of its existence. London is the Grand Wizard . . . [and] this [anthology] is a compass for readers to chart their own paths through the dark streets of London, to take whatever part chimes most closely with their soul and use it as a talisman."
