Gruesome New York : Murder, Madness, and the Macabre in the Empire State, Paperback / softback Book

Gruesome New York : Murder, Madness, and the Macabre in the Empire State Paperback / softback

Part of the Gruesome series

Paperback / softback

Description

Gruesome New York is a collection of true-life stories - most of them rescued from old newspaper accounts published over 100 years ago. Only a few of the events in this book - have ever made it into print, except maybe in musky-old county histories. Even then, they are lucky to rate a paragraph.

Read them now, if you dare!

Included inside: The murder of Helen Jewett in 1836. The killing of Carrie Brown, better known as "Old Shakespeare," back in 1891. Lizzie Halliday, who murdered five people, including her husband in the early 1890s. And, don't forget Roxalana Druse. She chopped up her husband and cooked him in the kitchen stove to eliminate the evidence. Of course, there's more, but you get the idea.

Gruesome New York covers eighteen brutal New York killings that occurred between 1836 and 1920.
