Requests:  0 Summary:  A detailed historical account of the serial killer calls on never before examined primary documents to reveal how he managed to take advantage of the crowds drawn by the 1893 World's Fair to create his own castle of horrors. Herman W. Mudgett, better known by his alias, H.H. Holmes, is considered America's first-- and most notorious-- serial killer. During the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, the basement of his house in Englewood, Illinois contained a torture chamber with crematory. Mudgett confessed to killing 27 people, but legends say the number may be in the hundreds. Selzer reveals not only the true story but how the legend evolved, taking advantage of hundreds of primary sources that have never been examined before.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 364.1523 Mudgett Se Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Mudgett Se Checked out 05/07/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Mudgett Se Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Mudgett Se Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
