If a single Jack Rosewood book won’t keep you up at night, this blood-soaked anthology definitely will.Eight of Rosewood’s most horrifying subjects are brought together in this twisted true crime boxed set, which brings to life stories that should be the stuff of nightmares, but unfortunately, are all too real.Rosewood’s detailed true-life tales of terror • Cousins David Alan Gore and Fred Waterfield, who found at an early age that both shared sick sexual fantasies of rape and murder and sought out victims to fulfill those fantasies;• Australian serial killer Eric Edgar Cooke, who selected his victims and his methods of murder at random, shooting some, stabbing others, until he was finally hanged, the last man to face the gallows in Perth;• William Heirens, who went from being the most popular boy in his class to a murderer who was completely out of a control, even going so far as to leave a desperate message at one scene, written in “For heavens sake catch me before I kill more. I cannot control myself”;• Belle Gunness, a stocky Norwegian woman who cold-bloodedly killed several of her children, husbands and suitors in order to obtain their life insurance policies and cash – or eliminate witnesses, burying most in wooden trunks beneath the hog pen;• Joseph Paul Franklin, who confessed to the attempted murder of Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt and killed multiple others – most often interracial couples - as his own personal form of “racial cleansing,” inspired by reading Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”;• John Christie, a slender but sadistic killer whose British flat was found stuffed with dead bodies including that of his own wife, who was discovered buried beneath the floorboards, when he was finally arrested in 1950s;• Patrick Wayne Kearney, who killed young men hitching through California in the 1970s, usually with a bullet to the back of the head, then had sex with their dead bodies; and• Jerry Brudos, who sadistically murdered several young women after torturing them in his family’s garage, saving ghoulish mementos including a foot he kept in the freezer, which he brought out like a toy in order to display it in stolen high heels, masturbating from the sheer pleasure of it all.Combined, these eight true crime stories are nightmares come to life, and as you learn more about the people who killed as casually as stopping at the post office, you’ll likely find yourself with the lights on for a while, if only to keep dark shadows from leaping out of the corners of your room.This True Crime Box Set includes the following The Killing The True Story of the Slaying CousinsEric Edgar The True Story of the Night CallerWilliam The True Story of the Lipstick KillerBelle The True Story of the Slaying MotherJoseph Paul The True Story of the Racist KillerJohn The True Story of the Billington Place Strangler Patrick The True Story of the Freeway KillerJerry The Shoe Fetish Slayer

About the author

I live in one of the most beautiful places in Florida, Jupiter, with my wife, two kids and our golden retriever, Vincent. I've been a full time author for the last 15 years and I wouldn't trade it against anything in the world!

My father was a journalist and wrote about some of the worst crimes you could ever imagine, and that's where my big interest from serial killers and other horrible crimes comes from. Just to hear my father talk about the evil acts of Ted Bundy as we were out fishing as a kid are some of my best memories.

If I had known more about these criminals, the information in these books would have been repeated details. Since these were new to me, I learned about criminals that I’ll research further.

Excellent book, very interesting and well written. Definitely worth the read.

[Julie Glover · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not all stories are good.

I felt that one or two of these stories just lacked in peaking interest. I skipped them because I found not enough in formation or depth and others because they just kept rehashing the same thing. Also, why does "one man death squad" need to be repeated every two pages?? Overall pretty good.

Intense read!

I have read a lot of true crime but what I especially liked about this book was the way the author described the scenes. I like reading facts and I sometimes get lost in the history of all the characters from birth on. This book gave a good description of the main characters and told some interesting side stories of murders who were influenced by these horrific crimes.
