The Nail in the Skull and Other Victorian Urban Legends
Simon Young
Introduces seventy Victorian urban legends ranging from ‘Beetle Eyes’ to the ‘Shoplifter’s Dilemma’ and from ‘Hands in the Muff’ to ‘the Suicide Club’. While a handful of these stories are already known, the vast majority have never been identified, and they have certainly never received scholarly treatment.
