Murder in Mind

When going back through my past research I have noticed reoccuring references to murder and death in the many short stories and poems I have collected in my file. Murder in particular seems to be a big theme throughout Poe's short stories and when doing a little bit of research into famous murderer's of the 1800's I found a whole variety of ruthless killings especially in Britain throughout the Victorian period, Burke and Hare, Mary Ann Cotton and the infamous Jack the Ripper to name a few. So I had the idea of referencing some of these murder's along with others from the literature such as Poe's Tell Tale Heart in a final piece called Murder In Mind.
