Salacious means salty: not just the brininess of the sea, but of
the spice-of-life-and-sometimes-death kind. It seemed the
appropriate word to use for an invigorating gallop alongside the
fast-and - loose livers of the Sussex-by-the-Sea, past and present.
Some people try to claim that the filthing of Sussex is a result of
the Brighton effect, the insidious metropolitan stain of
London-sur-Mer oozing out over the rest of us, but history proves
them wrong. It's not all down to Georgie Peorgie and his naughty
puddings, pies, and tarts.You would not believe what used to go on
in Steyning of all places, who would have thought it. And if you
thought violence was something invented by asbo-wielding hoodies
wait until you meet the Hawkhurst Gang and their spine-chilling
cutlasses. In what other county could any one have pulled off a
scam as eccentric as the Petdown Man? Sussex is just as renowned
for its darkside as for its natural sunny beauty, and "Salacious
Sussex" is the book to celebrate it.This title presents a scandal
for every taste, from ancient history to the modern age (as far as
the libel laws will allow). It is divided into five themed
chapters, each covering a different kind of scandal from hanky
panky to murder via chicanery and shenanigans, with a detour into
lechery and satanism. The darkside of the county dragged into the
sunshine. It is the latest addition to our exciting serie of books
on Sussex for the enthusiast.
