A Grim Almanac of Sussex

W.H. Johnson digs deep into Sussex'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 ne'er-do-wells are all included. If it's macabre, if it's ghoulish, if it's bizarre, then it's here!
