Evidenced through his meticulous exploration in 'Poison Romance and Poison Mysteries' (1904), Thompson delved into the intricate and often macabre relationship humanity has had with poisons throughout the ages. His work captures not only the scientific understanding of poisonous substances but also the socio-cultural impact – exploring tales of infamous poisoners, the allure of secret formulas, and the dark romance associated with poison-related deaths.
