If anyone has ever been to a good Bonfire Night display, they could use it as inspiration for a gothic novel. The torch lit procession with Guy Fawkes' effigy can be quite eerie, especially if accompanied by appropriate music. Also, one viewer nearby commented that a dead body could have been buried in the bonfire and no one would have been wiser until the body had burned.

The book "THE WALKING STICK" by Winston Graham has a good scene on Guy Fawkes Day. This book is a mystery set in 1960's London. The plot really isn't about Guy Fawkes Day but it does include a good scene in the book. Winston Graham is a favorite of mine, good mysteries and also The Poldark Series that is marvelous.
