Meet 18 of the Midwest's most atrocious and vile human beings. Read
histories of murder and mayhem committed by individuals with burning
anger and contempt for societal norms, and witness the macabre visions
of their personal demons driving them to commit acts so reprehensible
that they have earned for themselves a place in the annals of criminal
history. Meet Micajah and Wiley Harpe, horrendous murderers who left a
bloody trail of forty bodies behind them. Find out what happened to
Belle Gunness's beaus. Visit the H. H. Holms "Murder Castle," and read
accounts of Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, John Dillinger, and more.
For those future criminals who would follow in the footsteps of the
notorious mentioned here, parting images are given: the gas chamber,
gallows, firing squads, lethal injections, electric chairs, and tortured
lives listening to the ticking of clocks from behind steel cell doors.
