Answers: Guild of Tailors

1. Death getting into the operatic spirit of things when doing his final duty in Maskerade. The title character in various media versions of the Phantom of the Opera famously gatecrashes a party in this costume based on – bonus question – which classic horror story? (See Extra Answers.)

2. Otto the vampire photographer – sorry, iconographer – in The Truth, pockets stuffed with the mysterious paraphernalia of his art.

3. Buddy (alias Imp y Celyn) and Cliff the troll in Soul Music. The quotation is the most obvious of this book’s several references to The Blues Brothers.

4. Casanunda the dwarf as seen in Lords and Ladies (‘Finest Swordsman, Outrageous Liar, Soldier of Fortune, Stepladders repaired.’).

5. The Dean of Unseen University in Soul Music.

6. Miss Flitworth of Reaper Man must have read – or sensed morphic resonances from – Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations. Miss Havisham in this novel acts as described, dressing as a bride even in old age after being deserted long ago on her wedding-day.

7. The wizards of the other Unseen University located in Bugarup on the continent XXXX, in (of course) The Lost Continent.

8. The wizards of ‘our’ Unseen University in all their dressy glory at the Convivium in Jingo.

9. Corporal Nobby Nobbs, secretly mingling at an Opera House reception in Maskerade.

10. The very small Constable Buggy Swires in The Fifth Elephant used ‘Big Boy’ rubber protectives in this unexpected way.
