Hello and welcome to my Victorian nightmare. I'm your host, Genevieve Mannion,

and I'm here to talk about mysterious deaths, morbid fascinations, disturbing stories, and otherwise spooky events from the Victorian era.

Because to me, there's just something especially intriguing,

creepy, and oddly comforting about horror and mayhem from the 19th century. So, listener discretion

is advised.

Hello, friends, and welcome to this my 45th episode, which happens to be my one-year anniversary episode.

I'm one.

This is so exciting.

Thank you, everyone who has been with me since the beginning,

or from any time that you've joined our creepy little family. I think, I think I am more proud

of this little podcast than any work I have ever done. It has been so rewarding to see it grow,

to use it to help me heal, and above all, to

connect with you, darlings. Thank you for following my show. And here's to hopefully more

years to come. This was a wildly exciting week, apart from turning one. I used last Monday's new Gemini

moon to do a very igniting abundance ritual. And I even posted a video on the Instagram that

night, How to Do It Yourself. And when I woke up the next morning, I checked my email and I found that Apple

podcasts chose to feature my other podcast, Dark Poetry. There are 3.5 million podcasts out there,

so to be chosen to be featured in the top five position at the tippy top of Apple Podcasts browser,

it's a very big deal. It gives a big boost to your visibility. You can't pay for it. You just

have to be chosen. So that was some very exciting abundance to find. Incidentally, the last time I

did this ritual, it was on January 21st. That's the night that we had

that planetary alignment. And the same thing happened. My Victoria Nightmare was featured the very next day.
