DEAN LEARNER
Dean Learner is Garth’s manager, publisher and
publicity agent. Dean’s background is in ‘high-class
erotica’, but made the move to horror some time ago to
pioneer the ‘scary porn’ genre (where he oversaw
such releases as Bitches in Blood, and Spider Pussy). Learner
was the first person to have Garth’s books published.
‘We never had a contract. I just bared my chest and said,
“sign here, that’s the only signature I’m
ever going to ask you to make in my presence. In retrospect,
I should’ve got something that put me on a surer legal
footing.” Garth and Dean had a fall out in the 1980s
over the financial collapse of Darkplace. Marenghi took his
business to a new manager, but the union was cut short when
the latter was found shot dead in his flat shortly after their
first power-lunch. After this tragic episode, Learner and
Marenghi reconciled their differences and are now inseparable.
As well as his work in the publishing business, Learner recently
re-opened his club Dean’s in West London (nearest tube
North Acton, near the Megabowl). He has never married, but
has been engaged twenty-nine times. |

TODD RIVERS
Star of over sixty horror films, Rivers was the bright B-movie
hope of his generation, until drink and womanising took its
toll. Recent appearances in The Bill and Holby City, however
speak of an actor returning to his best form. An accomplished
rock singer/songwriter, he is perhaps most famous for his Lucky
Dip LP, featuring the tracks Hot Woman (When You’re Going
Down) and One Track Lover, which is featured in Episode 6 of
Darkplace. |

MADELEINE WOOL
An enigma of enigmas, Madeleine Wool’s history is wrapped
in secrets (partly because no-one ever asked). One of the best
animal impersonators of this or any other age, she is currently
missing, presumed dead.
