killers in this comprehensive tome of grisly lusts and depraved

the killer's own words. Meet legendary murderers Jack the Ripper,
Jeffrey Dahmer, Henry Lee Lucas, and Ed Gein. Become intimate with
lesser knowns, such as Edmund Kemper, Louis Wagner, and Carl
Panzram. Bear witness to depraved sexual sadists Albert Fish, Gary
Heidnik, and Richard Ramirez. Discover the insanity of Joseph
Kallinger, "The Shoemaker," Tsutomu Miyazaki, Japan's demented
child killer, and Gordon Stewart Northcott, twisted ax murderer and
pedophile. Take a sinister trip to where violence is the beginning
and death is a welcome release.
He is every nightmare you've ever had and every fright made flesh.
He is the most feared villain in the history of the world, haunting
us past childhood, lingering in the background of the darkest
recesses of our souls. Now-for the first time ever-meet the
infamous Boogeyman as he steps out of the darkness and into the
limelight. Written in a clever interview style, this whimsical,
funny, informative, and scary biographical history of the world's
greatest fiend takes the reader on an escapade into terror that
began in the dank world of the Dimmuborgir Lava Fields in Iceland
and culminates in the surreal landscape of today's modern monsters.
From folklore to contemporary horror, through a series of engaging
questions, diary entries, and author research, the evolution of the
Boogeyman continues to develop as he takes credit here for the most
disturbing and bloodthirsty creatures ever to scare us silly. And
if you find the cover of this book glows in the dark, lock your
doors and windows-it means the boogeyman is watching.
Journey to 31 dark, scary, and infinitely unsettling places that
are soaked with blood, death, and the horror of unspeakable
tragedy. Revel in the horror of The Villisca Ax Murder House, Lemp
Mansion, Borley Rectory, and Fox Hollow Farm. Shed a tear for the
desecrated dead of Cheesman Park and The Black Hope Cemetery, the
lost soul of a little girl who still haunts Lake Shawnee Fun Park,
and the melancholy spirits of a feuding husband and wife who found
immortality in the form of a murder-suicide. Learn the devastating
truths behind Black Moon Manor, Madame Delphine LaLaurie, Doris
Bither (the terrifying real-life case that inspired the film The
Entity), and Japan's disturbing answer to the Holocaust, the bloody
Unit 731. Experience the suffering of people frequenting these
places and explore tragic events that create a stain on the fabric
of time, resounding for centuries and affecting generation after
generation. Visit as grim shadows fall the nightmares will haunt
you."
Deep within the soul of all of us, lies an intense fear. It could

after death. Take a personal tour of 29 of the world's most haunted
prisons, hospitals, and asylums. Visit Waverly Hills Sanatorium,
Auschwitz, Norwich State Hospital, Eastern State Penitentiary,
Preston Castle, Alcatraz,The Tower of London, Leavenworth
Disciplinary Barracks, and more. Learn the personal stories of the
