H.H. Holmes committed ghastly crimes in the late 19th century. Many of which occurred within his legendary Murder Castle in Chicago, Illinois. He is often considered America's first serial killer.
In her second book of poetry from Strangehouse Books, Sara Tantlinger (Love For Slaughter) takes inspiration from accounts and tales which spawned from the misdeeds of one Herman Webster Mudgett, better known as Dr. Henry Howard Holmes. Fact and speculation intertwine herein, just as they did during the man's own lifetime.
There's plenty of room in the cellar for everyone in The Devil's Dreamland.
