The Penny Dreadful Poem by Shaun Cronick

A little book of murders most vile and foul,
Featuring mad killers on their deadly prowl.
Never any subject ever off limits or even taboo,
The Penny Dreadful is the black book for you.

A Victorian horror publication for the masses,
Each eagerly awaited by all the working classes.
Every week its morbid demand so vastly grew,
With graphic gothic tales of terror for all to view.

Packed with lurid and dark sensational matter,
A victims demise with a shocking blood splatter.
If death many macabre is what you desire to read and view,
Then the wicked Penny Dreadful was grisly made for you.
