A Grim Almanac of Essex

Neil R. Storey's macabre calendar chronicles the darker side of life in Essex. Murderers and footpads, pimps and prostitutes, riots, rebels, bizarre funerals, disaster, and peculiar medicine are all included. The book is illustrated with engravings, newspaper reports, photographs, and original documents. If it is horrible, if it is ghastly, if it is strange, then it is here! If you have the stomach for it, then read on.
