In the nineteenth century true stories of cannibal tribes
massacring white traders (and vice versa) and missionaries fed the
morbid appetites of Europeans, North Americans and colonials.
Accounts of cannibalism committed by seafarers on their dead
shipmates quickened the pulses of landfolk even more, and pricked
their moral disquiet. Acts of desperate men committing unspeakable
atrocities. The warring frenzy of cannibal headhunters and their
gruesome feasting. Such was the stuff of real-life 'sixpenny
romances', rich in human butchery and garnished with treachery and
terror. The more atrocious the at rocities, the more exotic the
locations; the more sensational the narratives, the greater was the
thrall of these thrilling tales of the sea.
