Listen Later

A mid-week catch-up to get the numbers right means we've got Chapter 3 of our three newest Dreadfuls coming your way!

  • IN BLACK BESS; OR, THE KNIGHT OF THE ROAD: Dick Turpin foils the woodman's treachery, then discovers a sinister secret beneath the floor of his strange forest hut ...
  • IN SPRING-HEEL'D JACK, THE TERROR OF LONDON: Jack turns the tables on his two pursuers and leaves them stuck in a field without their trousers ...
  • IN THE BLACK BAND; OR, THE MYSTERIES OF MIDNIGHT: We meet the lovely Ellen Clavering, daughter of a reformed rascal who, we learn, once joined the Companions of Midnight and would like to come in from the cold ... but cannot.

We'll also learn what a highwayman means when he calls a pretty girl "lippish," or threatens to "mill your nob," or starts in to "throw the hatchet"!

Join Professor Flash, a.k.a. Finn J.D. John. for a spree through the story papers of old London! Grab a flicker of something that won't leave you hung over tomorrow morning, unload your stumps, and let's go!
