About This Book
The Terrors is a sequence of imagined emails; poetic missives from the start of the 21st century to inmates at London's notorious Newgate Prison. Mimicking the tone of its primary source, The Newgate Calendar, The Terrors tacks from horror to humour, from moral disgust to the casual chitchat of the digital generation, all the time delineating London's violent urban undercurrent in bold, energetic and sometimes shocking language.

Celebrities. Theyâre a funny old bunch, arenât they? All you have to do is lure them into an overlit bungalow with a promise of a few weeks back in the limelight, and before you can say âme me meâ theyâre baring their tortured souls and telling us all KINDS of things we never knew we wanted to know.
- Heidi Stephens, The Guardian, January 2009
