Ferocity, Folklore, and Fierce Freedom.Sadie Farrell: Blood on the Hudsontells the gripping, historically grounded story of one of New York Citys most notorious yet little-known figures. Born in the rough and poverty-stricken Fourth Ward, Sadie Farrell rose from a childhood marked by hunger, violence, and fierce survival instinct to become a feared mugger whose headfirst attacks earned her the name Sadie the Goat. Humiliated in a brutal fight with the towering bouncer Gallus Mag, Sadie fled to the West Side waterfront, where she joined and eventually commanded a frail gang of would-be thieves. Under her strategic leadership, they hijacked a sloop and carved a brief but unforgettable reign of piracy along the Hudson and Harlem Rivers. This book traces her journey from battered girl to river captain to hardened survivor and ends with a detailed historical timeline of her life to help separate fact from enduring folklore. "This is a razor sharp tale rooted deeply in history. Absolutely ferocious, moving, and brilliantly atmospheric." Helena Johnson, Historian

The Hamamatsu Deaf Killer: Seisaku Nakamura and Wartime Japans Systemic FailuresIn 1938, a fourteen-year-old deaf boy named Seisaku Nakamura began a four-year killing spree that would claim at least nine lives in wartime Japan, including members of his own family. This meticulously researched historical true crime narrative examines how a mathematically gifted student at a school for the deaf transformed into a serial killer, revealing the catastrophic convergence of disability stigma, familial abuse, and state-sanctioned violence that characterized Japanese society during the Pacific War.Drawing on police records, psychiatric evaluations, and contemporary newspaper accounts, this book traces Nakamuras trajectory from his birth in 1923 through his execution in 1944, situating his case within broader patterns of juvenile delinquency that contradicted wartime propaganda about social cohesion and moral virtue. The narrative explores how the suppression of crime reporting enabled his violence to continue, how the Wartime Criminal Special Law stripped away juvenile protections to ensure his swift execution, and how his case illuminates persistent patterns of ableism in Japanese society from the concept of spiritual pollution to the 2016 Sagamihara massacre. This is a story about what happens when disability meets stigma rather than support, when law serves state power rather than justice, and when societies suppress uncomfortable truths about their own failures.
