W.H. Johnson digs deep into Sussexa s past, presenting the reader with centuries of criminality and vice, of wretched living conditions and blind fate which so often leads to appalling consequences.
A Grim Almanac of Sussex chronicles the darker side of life in the county. This is a never-ending parade of woe, horror and misfortune: dreadful rail accidents, public executions, murderers, robbers, drunkards and general nea er-do-wells all feature. If it’s macabre, if it’s ghoulish, if it'ss bizarre, then it’s here!
