W.H. Johnson digs deep into Sussex’s past, presenting the reader with centuries of criminality and vice, of wretched living conditions and blind fate which so often leads to appalling consequences. A Grim Almanac of Sussex chronicles the darker side of life in the county. This is a never-ending parade of woe, horror and misfortune: dreadful rail accidents, public executions, murderers, robbers, drunkards and general ne’er-do-wells all feature. If it’s macabre, if it’s ghoulish, if it’s bizarre, then it’s here!
W.H. JOHNSON is a retired headmaster and schools inspector. He is the author of several books on local history, crime and criminals including A Grim Almanac of Kent. He lives in Eastbourne, Sussex.
