Now that the October Frights Blog Hop<\/em> is over, we can announce the winners of our challenge. Sorry that it couldn’t be everyone, but then it would have been a rubbish competition, I suppose.\u00a0 The Deptford Assassin<\/strong> was feared throughout late Victorian and Edwardian England. Reputed to have ‘removed’ the banking magnate Frederick Caille, several peers of the Realm and countless less well-known personages, his name was, of course, Mr Edwin <\/strong>Dry.<\/p>\n
