My Victorian Nightmare

Ep. 30 - Welcome to the Cabaret of Death


Listen Later

On today’s episode, Genevieve will be discussing the very macabre ways in which French Victorians would entertain themselves: the death-themed cabarets, horror shows in old gothic chapels, and the very upsetting and morbid curiosities that Parisians would literally trample over each other to get a glimpse of.
