Title: An Short, Entertaining Slice of Gruesome History
Product review: Jan Bondeson's The London Monster (A Sanguinary Tale) is a marvelous look at the city of London in the 1790's through a horrifying story of terror and mania and a touch of humour. The tale will travel through the dark streets filled with shrieks as a stalker prowls along cutting both women's garments and flesh into the taverns where the Monster hunters gather and to the Old Bailey and the somewhat farcical trials of young Rhynwick Williams. The author keeps the story moving along at a brisk pace while yet still creating more than sufficient atmosphere for the reader almost to taste the London fog in the air while reading. In the last chapters he helpfully expands the scope of the book to give the reader a broader perspective on the case. A very entertaining and informative read to be saved especially for the history buffs when the nights grow a little longer and the wind howls just a little louder.
