Hello and welcome to my Victorian nightmare. I'm your host, Genevieve Mannion,

and I'm here to talk about mysterious deaths, morbid fascinations, disturbing stories, and otherwise spooky events from the Victorian era.

Because to me, there's just something especially intriguing,

creepy, and oddly comforting about horror and mayhem from the 19th century. So, listener discretion

is advised.

Hello, friends, and welcome to this, my 18th episode. Wow, I am almost at 20 episodes. I feel so accomplished. I've got some pretty disturbing things that I cannot wait to tell you on today's

episode, but first, some haunted housekeeping.

Thank you, everyone, who left me a kind note on Instagram last week.

I was unable to produce a show because things kind of got turned upside down for me,

apart from dealing with the horrors of like the election and not getting anywhere near enough sleep because my little dog Toby has yet to adjust to daylight savings time.

I got laid off from my job, so despite running on empty, I had to do some serious scrambling.

Don't worry, I am self-caring, meditating, dancing to drab majesty's cold souls

about it, feeling the feelings. So never fear. I will be okay. If anything, I'm taking it as an

opportunity to put more of my heart into this project right here. So again, thank you so much for your sweet

understanding comments. I am so lucky to have such lovely listeners. I really do appreciate it.

Also, thank you everyone who left me a kind note on the previous weeks minisode.

Some of you definitely made me cry, and I only had to delete like two or three sour comments.

What a pleasant surprise.

It was also really nice to hear you share how you're helping your communities, how you intend to,

and how you're taking care of yourselves. We can all use a little

comfort right now, and reading your comments was really comforting to me. So again, thank you.

Keep please leaving me comments. I love them so much. Also, I finally got the courage to go on camera and do a little fashion show
