Fascinatingly morbid tale of a hangman in the 1800's in England. Morbid in detail, almost impossible to put down once started, this is the biography of a man who sold his skills at hanging, and made a nice fortune in doing so. Detailing the implements and methods used to hang a person, the executioner is not exactly immune to the feelings of those he executed. A very telling, very morbid, unforgettable work. Reader discretion advised.
