Brand new, not for profit, book containing a selection of true stories of murder, mayhem, manslaughter and suicide, victims and perpetrators interred in London's Nunhead Cemetery between the years 1853 and 1935.

The true stories of those unfortunate men, women, children and babies, who died at the hands of others, and those tragic men and women who died by their own hand.

Sixty three stories, some illustrated with black and white pictures/photographs. A grid plan of the cemetery is included together with the Square and Grave Number of the victim/perpetrator.

The gothic Nunhead Cemetery of All Saints in London was opened for burials in 1840. Around 269,000 burials had taken place between 1840 and 1969 when it was abandoned. It was acquired by Southwark Council in 1974.
