In the Victorian Era no one was safe, not even in their own home. Houses were ticking time bombs. Eating food was its own game of roulette. Not to mention, the fashion was absolutely to die for! Join the Ladies of Macabre as they talk Murder Bottles, exploding toilets, and much more!

 

***Oopsie. I say camera "film" when referring to photographers...but they did not have "film" back then. But my brain just went there. Sorry. Please forgive me. The actual word is 'daguerreotype'. But I couldn't pronounce that if I tried.
