Crazy Killers and Strange Tales

Hello, my Freaky Darlings! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. So … let’s get right into it. Personal Shit I’m delighted that Sliced and Diced has been unleashed on the world as an audiobook. I’ve wanted to do more with audiobooks for years, but doing more books has been out of my reach for several reasons. But now, thanks to technology, I can do what I’ve always wanted. Don’t you love all the…

after reading carmilla (1872), I’ve of course become obsessed with how similar she is to lucille. i will not elaborate.

Not going to lie, I don't really see it myself! Let's review known backstory:

turned into a vampire at age 18 by the ghost of someone she knew who had killed themselves

convinced a former friend or lover to hide her from vampire hunters

killed him and escaped

Now she's an eternal teenager whose whole thing is being very sweet and charming on the surface but weirdly intense underneath and okay I maybe see some similarities there (Lucille is about as charming as a dungeon but she does perform social acceptability pretty well)

besides queerness or queercoding, they're also both possessive and motivated by love. and have really nice hair.

so I suppose, upon further reflection, I see it a bit? not massively, but perhaps GDT had some influences from the novel as well as his other sources

(I'm firmly convinced, for example, that the real-life murder cases of Jane Toppan and Constance Kent influenced Lucille's character)

The reason we talk about respecting pronouns whenever a trans person does something bad is because no one misgenders cis criminals. You are blatantly treating trans folk as lesser by viewing our pronouns as a privilege to be revoked and not viewing cis people's pronouns the same way. In your mind, a cis person has an inherent, God-given right to basic respect, no matter how many people they rape and murder, but a trans person does not.

You still call Ted Bundy a man. You still call Jane Toppan a woman.

Additionally, the vast majority of people who think it's acceptable to misgender a trans murderer also think it's acceptable to misgender an innocent trans person they happen to disagree with. They do not reserve their transphobia for truly awful individuals. They will weaponize it against any trans person who crosses them.

It's not that we think respecting pronouns is more important than spreading awareness of a dangerous person. It's that y'all cannot control yourselves, y'all have to be transphobic at every given opportunity. We wouldn't need to talk about this if y'all would behave.

Bloodthirsty Women in History 

News of the Times Episode 242  | 1450 - 1905 

In 1905, the question is asked in the papers: Are Women more Bloodthirsty Than Men? This news article looks at several ruthless female killers in history and thre crimes they committed including murderers: American Belle Gunness French Jeanne Weber American Jane Toppan French Madame de Brinvilliers Lucretia Borgia Catherine de Medici Kate Bender and more! The question is an interesting one as we have heard from some of our subscribers their understanding that female serial killers were unusual.  We have not found this ourselves. A question that still resounds today: Are women more bloodthirsty than men? Is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays. We hope you enjoy the show!

it’s interesting to stumble upon real Victorian murderesses who seem like they may have informed the character of Lucille Sharpe. four immediately come to mind:

- Constance Kent, who killed her young half-brother in 1860, at the age of 16 (apparent motive jealousy for preferential treatment by her parents). she was sent to boarding school in France- a real boarding school, as far as I know, not an asylum -when the investigation fell apart due to her family’s relatively high social status. she turned herself in five years later, though, and served a 20-year prison sentence

- Jane Toppan, a nurse convicted in 1901 of murdering at least 12 patients (though she confessed to 31 killings) with morphine overdoses, apparently for the sexual thrill it gave her

- Belle Gunness, a black widow killer who had a background in butchering animals (that’s the only real similarity here- she faked her own death in 1908 by placing the body of a woman she’d killed in her house and burning it down with her children inside. hardly the Child Escaping Abuse/Woman Killing To Support Her Lover type)

- Lizzie Borden, of course; the quintessential Victorian Patricide Case (may have murdered her father and stepmother with a hatchet, possibly over an inheritance dispute and said father killing her pet doves)

of course, for a fictional sympathetic antagonist, the motives have to have been somewhat nobler (at least at the start). but I do wonder if Del Toro borrowed bits from these women’s stories in creating the character

True Crime Sunday: The Legend of Lavinia Fisher

Welcome back to True Crime Sunday! Last week we talked about Jane Toppan, the murderous nurse who may have been America’s first female serial killer. This week we’re going to talk about the intriguing story of another woman who may hold that title. However, there may be more… or less to the story. Historians seem to agree that Lavinia Fisher and her husband John ran an inn called the Six Mile…

Jane 'Jolly Jane' Toppan

Jane Toppan was an American serial killer from Massachusetts. She is thought to have had over 31 victims between the years 1895-1901. Toppan is considered an 'Angel of Death,' a type of serial killer who takes on a caring role and murders the vulnerable and dependent.

Jane Toppan's childhood was troubled; her mother died when she was very young and her father was known to be an abusive alcoholic. When Jane was around 6 years old she was left in an orphanage by her father.

In 1885, Toppan began training to be a nurse, she was well-liked and friendly quickly gaining the nickname 'Jolly Jane.' She began experimenting with patient's medication doses out of curiosity about what would happen to them, hiding what she was doing by forging their charts. Toppan was fired from a job for recklessly administering opiates and found work in the private sector.

In 1895, Toppan began her spree of murders by poisoning her landlord and his wife. In 1899 she killer her foster sister. In 1901, Toppan moved in with an elderly male called Alden Davis to take care of him following the death of his wife (who she had also murdered), within weeks him, his sister and two of his daughters were dead. The surviving members of the Davis family called for a toxicology result which found the family had been poisoned. On 29th October 1901, Jane Toppan was arrested, by 1902 she had confessed to 31 murders.

Toppan insisted she was sane and that she knew what she was doing at the time of her crimes, reiterating that she knew her murders were wrong. She stated that she got a sexual thrill from patients being close to death, coming back to life and then dying again, she also stated she had strong orders to poison, even poisoning herself at times to evoke sympathy. A jury, however, found her insane and she was found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed for life to a mental hospital.
