Our Editor's Take
Macabre London is a podcast featuring true crime, ghost stories, and strange mysteries. Host Nikki Druce examines London's lurid history. Listeners will hear about everything from serial killers to haunted places. The stories on this show are as captivating as they are gruesome. Nikki provides a compelling narrative for each story. Her skills as a narrator and writer make every episode a delightful horror blend.
Nikki is a content creator and lifelong fan of all things gothic and spooky. A lover of unusual fashion, she is an avid collector of steampunk jewelry. The podcast host has even published a book on the art of making jewelry for steampunk outfits.
On this podcast, Nikki shares her fascination with the macabre. Her detailed research makes each episode terrifying as well as educational. Nikki also cohosts the podcast Killers, Cults and Queens. Her content has won her a strong following with hundreds of thousands of downloads.
Because the show doesn't focus on only crime or the supernatural, listeners get an exciting mix. Nikki discusses unsolved mysteries like the Isdal woman. A family of three found a woman's charred remains while on a hike. Over 50 years later, the police still don't know what happened to her.
Macabre London also examines a song that accounts say is sad enough to have led to several deaths. Written in Hungary in 1933, "Gloomy Day" has earned the moniker "the suicide song."
True crime cases on the show range from 1700s scams to modern-day murders. Nikki has even examined Henry VIII's string of killings. At the end of each year, Macabre London covers the year's highlights in a series of mini episodes. The "Weird News" episodes are a lighthearted departure from the more grim topics. In these, Nikki has detailed animals breaking into homes and the latest AI technology.
New episodes of the Macabre London podcast generally come out every two weeks.
