Description
With tongue firmly in cheek, Neglected Murderesses reveals remarkably wicked
specimens of “the fairer sex” whose homicidal acts have faded into obscurity,
including bowler-turned-basher Miss Q. P. Urkheimer and crochet-hook skewerer
Mrs. Daisy Sallow. If not for the sleuthing of Edward Gorey, whose fearless rehabilitation
of better-known murderers—such as Dracula, the Wuggly Ump, and the malfeasants
presented in PBS’s Mystery!—earned the admiration of countless law-abiding citizens,
we might have gone to our graves without a proper appreciation of the important
part women have played in the history of homicide. Indulge your Gorey-esque
sense of humor every month of the year!
