Six Disturbing Stories of some of the UK's Most Brutal Killers A Prequel to the True Crime Case Histories Series - Over 7,000 Five-Star Ratings worldwide A quick word of warning. The true crime short stories within this book are unimaginably shocking. Most news articles and television true crime shows skim over the offensive details of truly unsettling crimes. In my books, I try not to gloss over the facts, regardless of how disgusting they may be. My goal is to give my readers a clear and accurate description of just how demented the killers really were. I do my best not to leave anything out. The stories included in this book are not for the squeamish. Many of my readers know I have split my last several years between London and Arizona. As these past few months of 2019 and 2020 have been my final months in London, I thought it would be fitting to write a book about some of the most notorious killers in UK history. This book is not officially part of the True Crime Case Histories series, but it’s written in a very similar style. A sampling of the stories includes: The Camden Ripper - A homeless man reached into a dumpster and felt what he thought were salmon fillets in a plastic bag. What he found were two human legs severed at the knees. London police started a manhunt for a demented murderer intent on fulfilling his obsession with Jack the Ripper. The London Cannibal - At 23 years old bludgeoned to death a young girl he had a crush on in broad daylight. Found to have “diminished responsibility,” he was committed to a psychiatric ward. Within 11 years, the killer was found to be “no major risk” to society and was free to go. Within hours of his release, he had dismembered a friend and was frying parts of his body in a pan. Sent back to the mental hospital, his killing didn’t stop. The Acid Bath Killer - One of the most notorious killers in UK history, wrongfully believed if he could make a body disappear, he couldn’t be charged with murder. Led by greed, he dissolved his victims in vats of acid before acquiring their assets. The Black Widow - Dena Thompson was a bigamist that hated men. Her first husband, she drove into hiding from an imaginary mafia. Another thought he would be getting kinky sex, but instead got beaten within an inch of his life. Her second husband wasn’t so lucky. The Bus Stop Killer - A sadistic predator terrorized southwest London for years, following young blonde girls from bus stops. He would beat them on the head with a hammer simply for the sake of extinguishing life. The Suffolk Strangler - The quiet area of Ipswitch in Suffolk normally sees very few killings in a year. In 2006 in a span of only six weeks, police found the bodies of five young women strangled. Some posed to resemble a crucifix. Plus, One Bonus Chapter. The six true crime stories included in this collection are dark and chilling and will leave you with a new understanding of just how fragile the human mind can be. Check out the True Crime Case Histories series for more short stories of; True Crime, Murder & Mayhem, Serial Killer Biographies, and True Murder Case Files. This book includes: Tony Hardy, Peter Bryan, John George Haigh, Dena Thompson, Levi Bellfield, Marsha McDonnell, Kate Sheedy, Amélie Delagrange, Milly Dowler, Steven Wright, Gemma Adams, Anneli Alderton, Paula Clennell, Annette Nicholls

A New York Times bestseller, The Midnight Assassin is a sweeping narrative history of a terrifying serial killer--America's first--who stalked Austin, Texas in 1885. In the late 1800s, the city of Austin, Texas was on the cusp of emerging from an isolated western outpost into a truly cosmopolitan metropolis. But beginning in December 1884, Austin was terrorized by someone equally as vicious and, in some ways, far more diabolical than London's infamous Jack the Ripper. For almost exactly one year, the Midnight Assassin crisscrossed the entire city, striking on moonlit nights, using axes, knives, and long steel rods to rip apart women from every race and class. At the time the concept of a serial killer was unthinkable, but the murders continued, the killer became more brazen, and the citizens' panic reached a fever pitch. Before it was all over, at least a dozen men would be arrested in connection with the murders, and the crimes would expose what a newspaper described as "the most extensive and profound scandal ever known in Austin." And yes, when Jack the Ripper began his attacks in 1888, London police investigators did wonder if the killer from Austin had crossed the ocean to terrorize their own city. With vivid historical detail and novelistic flair, Texas Monthly journalist Skip Hollandsworth brings this terrifying saga to life.
