Thread Name: Death in the Child Ballads
Subject: RE: Death in the Child Ballads
I work in a bookshop and once suggested that we should classify our crime books by method - Burnings, Poisonings, Knifings, Strangulations and so on. Then you have some rather small categories like Survivals After Disembowelment Followed By Multiple Heads Bashed In With A Paperweight.

With what you've got you could probably plan a whole evening of songs about people being buried alive.
