Description

Presented with tongue firmly in cheek, Neglected Murderesses features delightfully 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!
