Remember that rhyme? Lizzie Borden took an axe...
Today is Day 8 of #septemberspookyseason24 on Instagram. Daily posts and some giveaways via @wyrdworldminiatures.
* Follow me also - @cwrite12. I'll try to post my daily (hopefully) Halloween inspiration here also with a reminder. Join in!
I may not be able to match all of these but I'll try.... (Click photos for full size.)
Today's prompt: Historical
Previously I shared some amazing photos of a miniature Lizzie Borden scene by Debra Hinton and an incredible handmade Lizzie Borden figure (above) by Sharon Cariola (see her Facebook page.) More photos worth a second look here.
And if you're looking for the perfect Halloween read....
Reading the autopsy reports and looking at the crime scene photos made me think--what if there was another reason the victims were brutally killed in such a manner? The book is based on the real-life records and includes accounts of the actual events.
Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter by C.A. Verstraete,
One hot August morning in 1892, Lizzie Borden picked up an axe and murdered her father and stepmother. Newspapers claim she did it for the oldest of reasons: family conflicts, jealousy and greed. But what if her parents were already dead? What if Lizzie slaughtered them because they’d become… zombies? (See my website for more details on the book.)
