Bram Stoker's HANNIBAL: Chapter 73

In which Will is called to another crime scene by his old partners... to examine what's left of Randall Tier's victims.

One of the witnesses claims that something similar to the Beast of Gevaudan was responsible. This is one of my favorite cryptid stories from history. Seriously, look it up.

Apparently there is a museum you can visit, which is now on my bucket list.

The artist's renderings of the beast from the time period are absolutely cuckoo bananas and I LOVE THEM.

The statue is outside the museum apparently and it is so badass. I want to go there so badly now!!!

Will also receives a telegram from a bike messenger in this chapter, which was a newish thing in those times. They are so cute!!

Last but not least, Chilton and Jack go to Picadilly, and here is what this iconic London area looked like at the time:

Now for the EXCERPT ENDING:

“But like we said in the telegram, if you’re not up to it, don’t do it,” Zeller interjected. “We know you’ve been through hell lately, Will.” “When am I not, ah, going through hell?” Will wondered, half to himself.  Jimmy and Zeller shared a glance. “Maybe we shouldn’t–” “What’s one more bloody circle of it?” Will snapped before they could rescind their invitation. He brushed past them and headed down the alley to look at the scene.

SUNDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: “I Like the Street (Electric Velvet Mix)”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VFPBwfnEnc —It occurs to me that this song is a short auto-biography. The lyrics hearken back to when I had a “day job” as a bicycle messenger, wheeling and pedaling around the urban hills of San Francisco. That presented opportunities to study speed, strangers, and sweat. This song is "my mind on bike.”

“I like the street / I like the street

The hustle and the bustle and the people that I meet

The grifters and the star-struck, The poets and the drunks

The PhDs and jailbirds, The models and the punks,

The barkers and the preachers and the friends that I hold dear

Some will bring you aggravation, some will bring you cheer (beep beep)…”

Sweat points to a rhythm under your skin and makes it glisten in the light. Sweat does not discriminate between burlap or satin, barkeep or ballerina. Lying makes people sweat. So does love. Jesus sweated drops of blood. Sweat carries the dust of disappointment and the heat of anticipation. This is Sweat Logic, a way of coping and seeing behind the masks that people wear in life.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VFPBwfnEnc

Working downtown SF in the 1980s and 1990s, it was almost impossible to avoid encountering these energetic and often reckless messengers on a daily basis. Their presence and fearless approach to navigating the city's busy streets and sidewalks often bordered on the absurd. But for many of these messengers, the job wasn't just a means of making a living - it was a lifestyle. Bike messenger culture was a subculture all its own, complete with its own jargon, fashion, and sense of camaraderie. Many of the messengers were young, alternative-minded individuals who were drawn to the freedom and excitement of the job. In San Francisco, in particular, bike messenger culture was especially prevalent. The city's hilly terrain and dense urban environment presented a unique set of challenges for messengers, and many took pride in their ability to navigate the city's maze of streets and alleys with speed and agility.
