Dark Tales of King Street Newtown | Sydney True Crime Book

Come and explore one of Sydney's most iconic streets with me

 King Street cuts a 2.5-kilometre swathe north to south between the terraced homes of Sydney's Inner West. It is a place of enjoyment, of exploration, of new flavours and vibrant fashion, it is also a place where dark history and historical true crime events prevail.

Join the author, writer of several books about Sydney's Inner West history, on a ramble along King Street, from the brickworks in the south to the university gateway at the northern end. Find out about:

  • Newtown's iconic pubs;
  • Long-lost shops and places of entertainment;
  • Bizarre deaths and accidents;
  • Gang-related shootings;
  • Crimes of passion; and
  • Much more.

This book will fill you in on the dark historical events and true crime incidents from Sydney's past. You may never look at King Street in the same way again... 

Book cover featuring purple-lit buildings under a dark cloudy sky with title 'Dark Tales'.
