Book Description
Excerpt from The Terrific Register, or Record of Crimes, Judgements, Providences, and Calamities, 1825, Vol. 1 The instances we have given of the surprising discoveries of crime, even after a long lapse of years, teaches the depraved that there is no safety in. Their pursuits. It is in vain for the sake of security that they reject confederacy, or veil their villanies in the blackness of night. There is one always in their council, whose scrutinizing eye penetrates the darkest dens of sin, and who in his own good time makes known those hidden mysteries, which appal the guilty and make mad the free. This fact is par ticularly striking in cues of murder, and from the narratives we have given, we come to this deduction, that however the deed may be surrounded by mystic circumvolutions, it will out and speak with most miraculous organ.

Book Description
As a schoolboy, Charles Dickens took a copy of The Terrific Register every week, and he later recalled how it 'frightened my very wits out of my head, for the small charge of a penny weekly; which considering that there was an illustration to every number, in which there was always a pool of blood, and at least one body, was cheap.' This selection contains the most gruesome tales from this 185-year-old publication. Including 'the horrible murder of a child by starvation', dreadful executions, foul tortures and one of the earliest mentions of a now notorious killer who turned his victims into pies, it will chill all but the sturdiest of hearts. Many of these tales have not appeared in print since Charles Dickens himself read them. Richly illustrated with original woodcuts, it will fascinate anyone with an interest in true crime.
