Bloody Murder

1.

The Poisoned Dirk,
The Severed Hand,
The Headless Turk,
The Speckled Band,

The Singing Bone,
The Shrieking Door,
The Fatal Throne,
The Killing Floor,

The Silken Cord,
The Velvet Gag,
The Avenging Sword,
The Body Bag,

The Assassin's Howl,
The Hangman's Hood:
Murder Most Foul
And Bloody Good.




2.

A Stolen Kiss
Lord Moyne's Carouse
Unhallowed Bliss
A Virgin's Vows

The Winter Bride
He Promised Pearls
My Sweet Dove Died
Just Working Girls

Our Cause Is Just
