The Executioner's Tales

By Steven R Drennon

The Newgate Calendar is a collection of writings that documents the lives and crimes of criminals who were sentenced to death or imprisonment at Newgate Prison in London, England. It provides detailed narratives of their crimes, trials, and punishment, often accompanied by illustrations. The collection's purpose was to entertain and educate the public about the consequences of criminal behavior. It originated in the late 18th century and continued to be published in various editions and adaptations throughout the 19th century.
"The Executioner's Tales" is a planned series of books, and each of these books will provide an in-depth dramatization of ten individuals selected from the Newgate Calendar. While each of these ten stories will be based on actual individuals and events, the details will be an acting out of each of the scenarios intended to immerse the reader in a more complete view of the crimes involved.
