Here is the policeman Jack Huddleston Katherine Dunn says: Banked anger smolders in the official grammar introducing Jack Huddleston's scrapbook of horrors. He created this monument to death, depravity and human foible during a Los Angeles area police career that spanned the decades from 1921 to the early 50s. The records of his working life were buried in the mounds of antique files in municipal basements and werehouses. The original scrapbook is large, six inches thick. Its stiff cardboard covers have disappeared over time and what is left are hundreds of black and white photos glued onto 18 x 24 inch sheets of heavy paper that is now mummy-brown with age and crumbling at the edges.
