  • - The Lethal Life of Dr. Oliver C. Haugh
    af Curt Dalton
    123,95 kr.

    In 1893 Dr. Oliver Crook Haugh, of Dayton, Ohio, boasted that he was on the verge of discovering a way to improve mankind; much like Robert Louis Stevenson had touched on in his book The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Instead, his use of cocaine and morphine turned Dr. Haugh into a monster who became a danger to nearly everyone who ever loved him. From the period of 1891 to 1905 it was thought that he had committed at least sixteen murders; with victims in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Did he actually commit all of the murders? Did some of his victims die due to poor doctoring instead of outright murder? Was he guilty of the charge that eventually led to his execution at the Ohio Penitentiary in 1907? You decide.

  • - Butchers and Lunatics
    af Rodney Cannon
    88,95 kr.

    In Volume 3 of my Serial Killers series, The Serial Killers Butchers and Lunatics, you will be introduced to some of the most vicious and disturbed Serial Killers. In Butchers in Lunatics we are going to explore the crimes and lives of men such as Ted Bundy, killer of at least 36 woman and perhaps more than 60.Randy Kraft convicted of 16 counts of murder and rape of young men.Herbert Mullin an almost forgotten serial killer from the 1970's who committed 13 murders. This lunatic believed that his killings would help to prevent earthquakes.Edmund Kemper a six foot nine mountain of a man who was every bit the monster that his size would indicate. His total number of murders may only be in the single digits, but of all the killers that I have read about or written about this is by far the sickest creature of them all. The evil acts that he perpetrated on members of his own family, innocent strangers, the living and the dead marks him as one of the vilest creatures to ever roam the earth. Reading about his crimes may cost you a part of your humanity. He is the reason that this book is titled Butchers and Lunatics.Robert Berdella, the Kansas City Butcher. Kidnapping, torture, rape and murder was the stock and trade of this man for over a decade before his capture.The first name in serial killers and even after a hundred and thirty years Jack The Ripper's crimes are not to be overlooked. These were some of the most vicious murders ever and his reign of terror all but paralyzed the largest city on earth for nearly a year. You have heard of him, but do you really know how bloody those murders were?

    As far as the British press were concerned, the year 1888 was very much the year of "Jack the Ripper". The still unidentified killer stalked the ill-lit streets of Whitechapel, brutally slaying five prostitutes between August and November of 1888 before slipping back into the shadows from whence he came.But while "Jack" was one of the earliest, and undoubtedly the most famous serial killer, he wasn't the first to fit the profile. In fact, it would appear that even at the time that "Jack the Ripper" was chalking up his bloody tally, another serial killer was stalking the streets of London.Between May 1887 and September 1889, the dismembered remains of four women were found in, or in the vicinity of, the Thames River.Collected here are the original newspaper accounts of these murders, tracing, in the voices of the time, the events, theories, and pursuit of a "forgotten Ripper".The number of leads are few, the number of theories just as thin on the ground. But the case of the "Thames Torso Murderer", this "Forgotten Ripper", is one which holds just as much mystery, if not more, as his more famous counterpart.

Silberberg; Bots Against US serves as a capture of the events witnessed and documented by him, as documented in his contemporaneous live twitter feed and other writings.The book delves into the attack on the DNC (attacks) and the subsequent close relationships between the Trump campaign and Russia. Bots Against Us, also goes into detail about future election security needs, and prospects for future attacks. The author discusses computational propaganda, cyber war, information warfare, and the use of bot armies to manipulate public perceptions both on social media platforms, TV + radio and in person. Bots Against Us proposes national standards for election security for the United States. Additionally stronger local and state level integration with existing security forces is needed to ensure a theft of an election never occurs again. Or that hostile foreign countries are not allowed to interfere again in Elections.

    Join me once more as we explore more stories of the forgotten with more tales of accidental and unexplained deaths to unsolved mysteries and forgotten murders. In this second volume of the "Stories of the Forgotten" series, I have uncovered eleven stories that had been lost to the annals of history. Travel with me to the Sacramento City Cemetery where you can visit a monument of love, or head over to the Ione Public Cemetery to learn about its most unique headstone and the sad story behind it. Learn about the tragic 1973 murders in Victor, California, where three families were destroyed by a pair of young serial killers, and then find out the true story behind the Babes in the Woods, the three little girls whose bodies were mysteriously found in the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania. Then, follow me down to the historic Delta town of Locke, where you will learn the details about a tragic gambling game gone wrong. Next, we travel up to Virginia City, Nevada where I will show you by way of documented sources, the true and correct story behind Julia Bulette's life and death, including my debunking of many of the sensationalized accounts that have been spread as fact for the last several decades. While we're still in the Gold Rush era, let me share with you the over the top life of Fanny Hinkley-Mills a.k.a., Fanny Sweet, whose life was more like something out of an old dime store novel, with an endless series of scandals that followed her like a dark shadow all the way up until her death. Learn all about the peculiar case of Paul Whitice's death. Did he commit suicide? Or was it murder? Then, let's take a look at the Rancheria Murders, including the events that took place afterwards that ended the lives of many more people, including Amador County's first and only Sheriff to die in the line of duty, William Phoenix. In this book, I also take a more in depth look at the story of Anna Corbin's life and death which I have shared in my previous books and blogs. Anna's story is one that has been overly sensationalized on various paranormal programs on television over the years due to her murder taking place at the Preston School of Industry in Ione, California back in 1950. By way of further investigation and help from her family, I have put the pieces of her life & death together for a better perspective of the whole story. And lastly, learn the tragic account of Jennie Bowman, a domestic worker with a heart of gold who died defending the home of her employer during a robbery back in Louisville, Kentucky, 1867. In each case, I present to you a thoroughly researched accounting of every story. This allows you to draw your own conclusions and find out where many of their graves can be found in cemeteries within the United States.

  • - Killing America
     
    223,95 kr.

    The strife and horrors of the Civil War in America were raw with the wounds of the war lasting for decades; and affecting those who lived in both the North and the South. As the nation struggled to find unity, the forces of darkness and of those who wished to rule through intimidation and terror, spread their wicked ways under the cover of white sheets. This is the story of the Ku Klux Klan and their chief brand: Lynchings, as told in the original newspaper stories from journals across the nation. Some are brief, telling only of a single attack while others are more comprehensive and detailed, telling the story with the inclusion of complex and emotional occurrences. The attempt of the KKK to cloak the power of control over others with fear and violence is explained in some of these news stories. The chief advocate and leader of the Klan was interviewed by reporters and allowed fair access to give his side of the story. The heroism of various groups such as the NAACP and others who risked their lives standing up to thugs and criminals is also noted, as well as the words of those individuals and leaders who fought to eliminate the influence of the Ku Klux Klan.While the KKK had as much right as any group to demonstrate and articulate their cause, the deceits and criminal actions employed by them separated their group from the legal actions of others.For readers in the 21st Century who know little of the life and death of the KKK, the admonition to understand and know history in order to avoid repeating it, should be considered. Therefore, it is in that hope that this book has been prepared. WARNING: Authentic descriptions are vivid and brutal and the racially charged language of this historic news reports and commentary has not been modified. This material is for adults and parental guidance is appropriate.

Bella grew up as the abused child of a well-to-do power broker with organized crime ties, a drug-addicted mother and a physically and sexually abusive brother. She had to divorce herself from any emotions in order to survive, and the time came when she could no longer even cry. She had a crying angel tattooed on her back to cry for her.Bella spent much of her youth in foster homes, rehab facilities and for short periods of time on the street. None of this broke her spirit. As a young adult she became a very powerful woman in the after-hour club culture on Hollywood's famed Sunset Strip--a culture that included drugs, guns and crime. During this period, she says she "got in touch with her gangsta girl." It was a life she loved, but she made the mistake of marrying the wrong man. A perfect husband who turned into a perfect monster with ties to organized crime.She found herself living the the Hood in Gardena CA across the street from a park where all the Crips from surrounding areas gathered. At first she was very afraid, but then the unbelievable happened. She got back in touch with that gangsta girl and became a white woman boss in the Crips. When the police would do nothing to protect her from stalking and death threats from her ex-husband and his Mob buddies, the Crips saved her life multiple times.Finally the fear for her life and that of her daughters became overwhelming and she fled into hiding under a victim protection program. Just before that, however, she founded an online movement known as La Bella Mafia to help abuse victims who have endured what she has and worse. It grew to an international following and she and her "Bellas" have helped hundreds of victims through their love and personal knowledge of abuse.Despite severe PTSD and some health challenges, Bella Capo, the woman who could have died many times, is their shining light--the person who encourages them to be Victors, not Victims. After you read her story, you will know why her co-authors, Morgan St. James and Dennis N. Griffin, say she is one of the most courageous women they have ever met! What she considers a great accomplishment is that now she can cry for herself and her Bellas.Scroll up and order your copy of this incredible story of surviving despite overwhelming odds.

L'amore che lega, l'amore che trasforma, ma anche l'amore che pesa come un macigno, che diventa insopportabile, che si porta via ogni cosa, ogni prospettiva.Al centro della narrazione, due personaggi: Francesco e Mario.Francesco, in fuga dalla sua Sicilia e dalle ceneri della sua vita, all'affannosa ricerca di una seconda possibilità e Mario, un paziente psichiatrico dell'Istituto Santa Mirope di Milano, che si aggira per i corridoi e invecchia lentamente sulla sua panchina in mezzo al parco, tra l'indifferenza di tutti. Silenzioso e avulso dalla vita del centro.Il paziente perfetto: trasparente, muto... sconfitto.Le loro strade si incroceranno e le loro voci si mischieranno alla straordinaria umanità che, ogni giorno, da vita a quel mostro autoreferenziale che è l'istituto. Un luogo dove tutto è immobile ed uguale a se stesso e, soprattutto, dove nulla è come appare.Le cose però stanno per cambiare.

    Hospitals are supposed to a place of healing, but wherever Genene Ann Jones worked, a trail of suspicious deaths followed. What makes this killer nurse one of the most sickening serial killers is that she targeted defenseless, innocent babies and children.Hospitals are where people go when they are sick, when they need medical help, or when they want to check on their health to make sure everything is going well. Nurses, doctors, and other medical staff are protectors that can help others get better, at least that is how it is supposed to be. When children are taken to the hospital, parents are confident that they are putting the lives of their children in the best possible hands for them to get well. What they do not expect is for one of the very people who are supposed to help their child, to hurt them intentionally instead, or even worse, kill them.Death is sometimes a possibility with certain conditions and illnesses, but it isn't usually expected - and even less so when a child dies in a way completely unrelated to the reason they are in the hospital in the first place. When there is confirmation that an intentional overdose of a specific medication was responsible, confusion and fear are quickly replaced by horror and anger.Genene Anne Jones (also known as Genene Anne Jones Turk), although officially convicted of only one murder and one charge of purposeful injury and harm to a child, is believed to have killed or injured somewhere between 45 and 60 children and infants. Jones had a habit of putting children in deathly peril so that she could be a hero and save their lives. Unfortunately, she killed many more than she saved.It is often hard to understand why anyone would want to kill another person, much less someone who has taken the Hippocratic Oath to do no harm and works in a field with the sole purpose of helping and saving people. When the victims are children, the crimes become more appalling. When the killer is a mother, confusion grows even more. What makes a nurse who is a mother herself kill young, helpless children?Scroll back up and order your copy today!
