Unburied: True Crime, Folklore, and Forgotten History of Hull (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798268253023)

Unburied is a haunting and meticulously researched anthology of true crime, civic folklore, and long-forgotten fragments of Hull's past. Author and researcher Michelle Rae Lee unearths the city's buried truths with care and clarity, drawing from archival records, museum collections, and newspaper accounts to reveal stories that history left behind. From skeletons discovered beneath dairy floors to a human skull hidden in a pub loft, these chapters trace the quiet echoes of lives interrupted, mysteries unsolved, and legends that linger in the brickwork. Alongside these darker tales, Lee celebrates Hull's emotional geography through chapters on its best-loved, and now lost, pubs and shops, capturing the spirit of everyday places that shaped the city's identity. The anthology also includes a heartfelt exploration of what makes Hull... Hull: its humour, defiance, and the civic quirks that bind its people together. With documentary precision and deep empathy, Unburied invites readers to walk the shadowed lanes and sunlit corners of a city whose stories deserve to be remembered.
