This defintely has me wanting to know what happens next!

Another memorable portrait of an executioner is that by Dickens of hangman Ned Dennis in Barnaby Rudge. It's both funny and terrifying.

Thanks, Jeffrey. I'm working my way through Dickens: one novel every Christmas. Haven't got to Barnaby Rudge yet.

Loved this piece...very in the moment. I'm curious about the tattoo!

To be clear: I'm just a guest at the awards ceremony. I'm going to catch up with you a few other writers.
