the case—and had therefore seen fit to invent fictitious scenes and dialogue, and embellish certain details to account for what was not publicly known at the time—has also been a source of criticism. However he did spend valuable research time with David Smith and his wife (Hindley's sister)—this is referred to in the recent book Evil Relations by Carol Ann Lee. Public reception and influence Beyond Belief was a bestseller in Britain in the years following its publication and was a main selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club in the United States. It has been reported that Myra Hindley strongly objected to Emlyn Williams' account of her relationship with Ian Brady, and that during the early years of her sentence, she implored friends and family not to read the book. The book is mentioned by the character Amyl Nitrate (played by Jordan) at the beginning of Derek Jarman's punk-themed cult movie Jubilee (1977). It was also the source for much of the detail mentioned in the song "Suffer Little Children" (1984) by the Manchester pop group The Smiths. Smiths frontman Morrissey was a fan of the book, and it has been suggested that the book's frequent references to David and Maureen Smith (who ultimately were responsible for leading the police to the murderers) as "the Smiths" inspired the band's name. The book is also cited by Alan Moore as part of the source material for his Eisner Award-winning graphic novel From Hell, specifically inspiring a brief scene in which Hindley and Brady are depicted attending a film about Jack the Ripper.
