Today's real-world Gothic horror story comes from California, and combines cannibalism with a family plot:
According to police, the suspect, identified as Dwayne Wallick, 37, was caught in the act of eating Ruby Wallick, his 90-year-old grandmother, on Monday.
Caught in the act indeed:
At around 2 p.m., Richmond officers responded to a 911 call reporting a man standing over a woman’s body on the 1200 block of Club Court, a residential area near the Hilltop Plaza. Upon entering the home, where both Dwayne and Ruby are reported to live, the officers said they found the suspect cannibalizing the woman.
(Why not say "eating the woman"?)
Another local source added a resonant phrase:
Officers arrived at the residence to find 37-year-old Dwayne Wallick standing over 90-year-old Ruby Wallick, his grandmother, and digging in her flesh. [emphases added]
Ah. A touch of Gothic flair in that account.
