Why this must be read:


An AU horror fantasy, the Tailor-Made Sequence is two short stories and a novella: Tailor Made, Quantum Mechanics and The Rewards of Patience.

While on a stake-out in a graveyard, Murphy tells his partner Doyle a ghost story about a demon lover, a man who sounds disturbingly like Doyle's new boyfriend.

Part of the lure of The Professionals is the excessive machismo and high-calibre weapon-wielding boys' games that are the plots. Every episode is marked by death. Tailor-Made takes fascination with death to a preternatural, horrifying and potentially redeeming extreme. It's disturbing, beautiful and overwrought, riffing off the episode, Discovered in a Graveyard, in which Doyle is shot.

There's also hot sex.
