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 60th episode. I am 60 episodes young. You wouldn't know it though,

because I threw my neck out, so I'm Batman today. I can't turn my head. I was an excruciating pain all night. Every morning, Toby waits till he hears my alarm go off. Then he jumps up on the bed and runs onto my chest and he gives me furious kisses for about 10 seconds. And then he starts backwards sneezing for like three minutes because he's so excited that I'm awake. And it's a very cute way to wake up, but having a 10-pound Pomeranian sneezing on your chest with like a broken neck, it was a hell of a way to start the day.

I've seen better days, is what I'm trying to say.

Apologies if I am sounding a little bit stiff today.

I am icing it, cursing it, and pretending I'm a goth superhero bat to make myself feel better. I'll live.
