About this audiobook

Victorian gin palaces were never glittering halls of harmless fun—they were infection factories disguised as entertainment. Gin Palace Sepsis drags listeners into a world of poisoned spirits, sticky sawdust floors, velvet alcoves, child runners, bribed coppers, and bodies written off as “dead drunk” before dawn. In this dark, immersive audiobook, Lucius Vespillo tears apart the myth of colorful London nightlife and exposes the blood, hypocrisy, addiction, and profit underneath it. If you want Victorian history without the romance, this is the descent.
