The Devil's City by Matt Corley, Sara Tantlinger
4.0
Let's go back to the late 1800s and hang out with H.H. Holmes and his murder castle! For those who do not know, Holmes was an infamous con artist and has been labeled America's first serial killer. There have been documentaries and books about him, the most popular probably being The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. But what we do not get a chance to hear are the voices of his victims. All of those men and women he killed had their light snuffed out too early and they were seemingly gone without a trace. This novella explores some of those victims and we get to see their actions leading up to their untimely demise. The chapters/stories end suddenly - the same way their lives ended. We get a glimpse into their last moments before Holmes takes everything from them.
