City Crimes; Or, Life in New York and Boston by George Thompson
"City Crimes; Or, Life in New York and Boston" by George Thompson is a novel published in 1849. This sensational urban gothic follows protagonist Frank Sydney as he descends into the city's dark underbelly, encountering the horrifying Dead Man—a disfigured criminal who rules the underground Dark Vaults through torture, murder, and depravity. Amid graphic violence and sexual transgression, the story weaves through multiple characters navigating greed, virtue, and desire in a claustrophobic
portrait of urban corruption and moral decay. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
