Thomas Peckett Prest

1810–1859

Best known for helping give Victorian popular fiction some of its darkest legends, this prolific penny dreadful writer is closely linked with Sweeney Todd and often associated with Varney the Vampire. Though details of his life are hazy, his stories helped shape early horror and sensation fiction.
