About this ebook

The Georgian era was perhaps one of the most shocking, gory, vice-ridden, and downright surprising in the capital's history. From an anaconda attack at the Tower of London to a ghost in Regent’s Park, a murder at the House of Commons, a body-snatching case which horrified all of London, a murderer who advertised for a new wife in The Times, and a decapitated head in the churchyard of St Margaret’s in Westminster, it will terrify, disgust and delight residents and visitors alike. With 100 incredible illustrations from the rarest and most sensational true-crime publications of the age, no London bookshelf is complete without it!

    I find myself really enjoying this "Grim Almanac" series. Each book talks about a different part of England (i.e. Leicestershire, Yorkshire, etc) and gives a terrible historical event for every day of the year. There are of course a lot of murders in there, but also some accidental deaths, some bizarre disasters, etc. There's just a brief summary, usually no more than a few paragraphs and never longer than a few pages per day. I have found the books to be good bedside reading if you can stand the morbidness: just read, say, a few weeks or a month and then drift off to sleep. Reading about these events that happened Way-Back-When reinforces the notion that the "good old days" weren't good, and people have been misbehaving in about the same ways since the beginning of time. And when it seems like the world is going to you-know-where in a handbasket, I find this idea quite comforting.
