Book Synopsis The Thames Torso Murders of Victorian London by : R. Michael Gordon
Download or read book The Thames Torso Murders of Victorian London written by R. Michael Gordon and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-10-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thames Torso Murders have been overshadowed by Jack the Ripper and his crimes, but were just as brutal and gruesome. They began in 1887 in London’s East End, just north of the Thames River in Rainham, England. The killer took one victim that year, another in 1888, and two more in 1889. He resumed his crimes in 1902, taking his last victim south of the Thames and leaving her body in a pile of dismembered parts as he had done with most of his other victims. This work delves deep into the case of the Thames Torso Murders. It begins with a look at London in the late 1800s, a time of great confusion and tremendous population increase, and the killer’s path to London, which seems to include a murder in Paris in 1886. The book then examines in great detail each murder and the investigation that may have been hindered by the search for Jack the Ripper. It also raises the idea that Jack the Ripper and the Torso Murderer may have been the same man—Severin Klosowski, better known as George Chapman, the Borough Poisoner. It ends with an examination of Serial Killers; the Ripper, Torso, and Borough Poisoner murder cases; the search for clues to the serial killer responsible for the five Thames Torso murders; and Wolff Levisohn, a dark horse who seems to have known much about all three sets of murders, testified at Chapman’s murder trial, and then faded away as Chapman was sent to the gallows.

Book Synopsis Archaic Torso of Gumby by : Geoffrey Morrison
Download or read book Archaic Torso of Gumby written by Geoffrey Morrison and published by . This book was released on 2020-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaic Torso of Gumby is a series of interlinked stories and essays by Geoffrey Morrison and Matthew Tomkinson that explore the gooey, prickly, sticky materials of late-capitalist pop culture, from video games to claymation to children's picture-books commissioned by oil and gas companies. Here lyric essay, personal memoir, fable, pseudohistory, and science fiction all coexist alongside more conventional short story forms. Each part reveals unlikely connections between subjects as different as a sentient wallet, a gathering of headless saints, abject descriptions of 3D-printed food, a sixteenth-century courtier who thinks he's a horse, a virtual reality religious experience, and a couple with a fetish involving crustaceans. By turns cerebral, goofy, and heartfelt, Archaic Torso of Gumby is a delirious rabbit hole for the adventurous reader.

Download or read book The Thames Torso Murders written by M. J. Trow and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Jack the Ripper: Quest for a Killer examines a different series of grisly unsolved murders in Victorian-era London. Dismembered corpses are discovered scattered along the banks of the river Thames, a calculating clinical multiple murderer is on the loose, and the London police have no inkling of the killer’s identity – and, more than a century later, they still don’t. In this, M.J. Trow’s latest reinvestigation of a bizarre and brutal serial killing, he delves deep into the appalling facts of the case, into the futile police investigations, and into the dark history of late Victorian London. The incredible criminal career of the Thames torso murderer has gripped readers and historians ever since he committed his crimes in the 1870s and 1880s. The case poses as many questions as the even more notorious killings of Jack the Ripper. How, over a period of fifteen years, did the Thames murderer get away with a succession of monstrous and sensational misdeeds? And what sort of perverted character was he, why did he take such risks, why did he kill again and again?

Sample Book Insights: #1 The Thames is a river that runs through London. It was the site of a honeymoon for Jerome Clapp Jerome, who wrote about it in his only literary success, Three Men in a Boat. The book is a look at young friends messing around on the river. #2 The Thames flows north above Kingston, where the first wooden bridge was built to link the town with Hampton Wick in 1219. The water here was known in pre-industrial times for its purity. Rudyard Kipling assumed that Teddington was Tide End Town, because here the tidal and non-tidal rivers meet. #3 The river bends at Richmond, 151⁄2 miles from London. The area was popular with day trippers, as it was only half an hour by train to Waterloo, which was the closest station to the city. The name Richmond was given to the river by Henry VII, Earl of Richmond in Yorkshire. #4 The Thames was host to many races and regattas, and was ideal for racing. The second railway bridge over the river was opened in 1846. The town of Barnes was famous for its amateur regattas.
