Hi! Thanks for dropping by....

As of December 31st 2025, my 'Bloody London' Book has sold a grand total of 9,787 Paperbacks and Ebooks, and been reprinted 5 times. At the time of writing (April 2026) it has 148 5-star reviews on Amazon UK.

The book is the result of many years of research into the extremes of London's dark side; it covers London serial killers (16 of them!!), the occult, disasters, unsolved murders, and a huge amount more.

It's been described as a Tardis, since it's crammed full of interesting, chilling and macabre information, but in less than 180 pages! It's also deliberately pocket-sized so that if you go to London, and want to visit some of the sites, you can carry it with you in your pocket.

Apart from the general quality of the writing, the book has been praised because it has very detailed information about how to get to the sites written about.

If you have bought the book, or if the subject of serial killers interests you, you might like to know that since 1999 I have also been the tour guide in London, UK, for a tour called 'Serial Killers: The Blood & Tears Walk' (Note that there may be variations on that title depending on which third party is selling it).

If you are in London, or will be in London sometime, you can buy tickets for that Tour on Get Your Guide. Just put the phrase 'serial killers' in the Get Your Guide search box and you will find me very quickly.

The tour features ten London-connected serial killers: some well-known, others not so well-known. Among the ten is a particularly vicious uncaught London child serial killer from the last century.

I deliberately created the tour and the 'Bloody London' book to be different products; there is only a 20% cross-over between the book and the Tour.

Reading about a dark alley connected to a serial killer is one thing - but, trust me, being in that actual alley in the dark in London late at night, is something else!!!

Children under 12 are NOT allowed on the Tour at any time because the material is grim and disturbing. I hasten to say that I am not personally grim and disturbing. I've been described as engaging, and I even manage to find some humour at times, but not at the expense of victims.

If you want to find out more about Serial Killers, and meet me in person, come on the tour....

Be safe!
