Let's paaaaaarty! If anyone was to write about the forty greatest parties in literature - it would have to be our Guest Editor Suzette Field. She is the all time party girl, promoter and author - and her book 'A Curious Invitation' is a frothy celebration of those top forty! Read our interview to catch a glimpse of the glamour, fruity love, and delightful filth that populates her work.

Away from the pages, throw yourself gayly at the most ghoulish of Halloween parties conjured by her good self. Head to The Great Hall in St Pancras for Grimm's Halloween - a Day of the Dead Ball! Or, as part of London Month of the Dead - float to the Death Cafe with Jon Underwood at the Dissenters Chapel in Kensal Green Cemetery - not for the feint hearted… Lastly, among her Top 4 tips for us Suzette also recommends singer songwriter Bishi at SPILL 2014 opening Party, as well as the much anticipated The Institute of Sexology at the Wellcome Collection.
