Description: "From dark crimes of passion to shocking tales of grave robbing, gruesome murders, dens of iniquity, Victorian séances and haunted houses - not far beneath London's everyday bustle and glitter there has long been a fascinatingly rich underworld of criminality, superstition, scandal and macabre debauchery."--Provided by publisher.
Review Quotes:
This is one of those pick up, dip in, and find something interesting type of books. The trouble is, once you pick it up and dip in, it's hard to put down. From beginning to end, this examination of London's dark, curious, and extraordinary history is as surprising as it is fascinating. A smashing book full of all-too-brief accounts of the extraordinary and often bizarre events in the history of London. Drew Gray is in his element. London has a dark history, some of which is truly extraordinary, and Gray knows it all.
