The "Penny Dreadful" was a Victoria genre of fiction, generally dealing with gruesome subjects such as Vampires, Werewolves and Murder. Printed on cheap paper and sold for a penny on street, they appealed to common people and were generally shunned by the "upper classes".
In writing this series of penny dreadfuls, I take the genre, but give it a comic twist. As short stories they are easy to read and hopefully provide you with a little humor in a world where things are a little bit crazy.
