Ep. 50 - He Dropped Dead With a Peach in His Mouth

On this week’s episode of My Victorian Nightmare, Genevieve will discuss a man mangled with a carving knife, another skeleton where it does not belong, the growing evil that is young women leaving their homes, a rum-crazed lunatic dentist, a man killed by a jar of peaches, and a couple of rats that exhibited an admirable commitment to teamwork.
