A brief overview of the infamous case; full of weird errors.

True Horror

I have never forgotten the movie The Town That Dreaded Sundown. The fact it was based on true events I believe started me on my fascination with true crime stories. That combined with having g a law enforcement officer for a father. The ability and horrific manor in which humans take pleasure in hurting others can never be explained, at least I don't think so. An interesting, though horrific set of stories about just a few of the monsters which society has had to deal with.

A quick and gruesome read

Get the facts of three horrible cases in about an hour. All three cases are very sad, but the final story is probably the hardest to take because of all the lives that were damaged or extinguished by madness.

Well written but grisly book of serial killers. Enter at your own risk of nightmares. Not recommended for anyone under 18,preferably 21.
