Previously to this, he co-authored three books relating to Jack the Ripper for the Whitechapel Society (again, The History Press), whilst fictional work included the urban fantasy trilogy, The Barrow Boys of Barking, beginning with Jack and the Lad and concluding with Jamie’s Big Bang. His tongue-in-cheek memoir Mickeypedia is still available, with proceeds going to the Anna Kennedy Online autism charity. In August 2025, the first volume of the Dear Boss trilogy was published, the book a fictional take on the aforementioned Jack the Ripper murders, but one with a decidedly modern twist. Also released in 2025 was The Romanovs Under House Arrest: The Russian Revolution and A Royal Family’s Imprisonment in their Palace, again from Pen & Sword Books.
Currently, Mickey is working – with the help of several academics and film directors – on what might be considered the definitive biography of American serial killer Ed Gein.
