5.0
I backed this book on kickstarter even though I had the privilege of reviewing an advanced electronic copy. Here was my review...
“The Devil’s City is a helluva thrill ride, delving deep into the sick history of serial killer HH Holmes, brutally peeling back the layers of his evil legacy through a series of surprising character studies, viciously unraveling Holmes' evil blood lust, victim after victim, until it reveals an unexpected core lurking behind it all. Holmes experts Sara Tantlinger and Matthew Corley have built a whole new underworld around the killer's infamous Murder Castle at turn of the century Chicago, and this book takes you straight down into the twisted intricacies its darkest abyss. LOVED IT.” -- Michael Arnzen, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Play Dead
