ExecutedToday.com

Coming Halloween 2007!

Executed Today is a blog of history, sociology, biography, criminology, law, and kismet — an unrepresentative but arresting view of the human condition across time and circumstance from the parlous vantage of the scaffold. This blog will each day chronicle an historical execution that took place on this date, and the story behind it. (More.)

It’s about to launch alive! Check back soon daily — or better yet, subscribe by RSS or e-mail.
