Thailand's lush beaches and exotic holiday resorts often perfectly hide the depravity that befalls the local poor population of the country. Hidden in the shadows of explicit beauty, lurks an underworld of forced labor and crimes that go unnoticed and unpunished. For Somkid Pumpuang, this type of environment lent itself blissfully to his monstrous killing spree. Due to Thailand's vast lands and poverty-stricken provinces, this monster was able to vent his uncontrollable temper and incessant need for money and lust on the poorest of victims. How many did he kill?

John Norman Collins was responsible for the "Michigan Murders"...Collins killed young women between 1967-69 in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area of Southeastern Michigan. He targeted victims between the ages of thirteen and twenty-one, kidnapping, sexually assaulting and later killing them. It took three years before authorities finally caught up to Collins, catching him one week after his latest murder. What possessed Collins to commit these awful atrocities and how did he get away with the crimes for so long?

Most of us have seen a movie or some tv series on the trials and tribulations of college bullies and the popular football player and cute teenager cheerleader. Most of us have probably already formed some kind of perception on what type of people they are - rude; full of themselves; picking on others and generally a downright plague to those around them. But this was no movie or tv series and, Emma Walker was not any preconceived version of a typical college cheerleader - in fact she was the complete opposite.

Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton's life is usually painted as tragic, but there were triumphs as well. She was a creative, intelligent woman, well-educated and well-traveled, a connoisseur of the arts, and an insightful writer (as her journals and these poems illustrate). She possessed an insatiable curiosity about people and a surprising amount of compassion for a person born of her station in the era in which she came of age.throughout her life she was alternately known as the "Poor Little Rich Girl" and "The Million-Dollar Baby (From the Five-and-Ten-Cent Store)." Less known was the fact that the Woolwroth heiress was a gifted amateur poet who self-published two volumes of her writing: THE ENCHANTED in 1934, and THE WAYFARER in 1957. Barbara had her first volume of verse, entitled THE ENCHANTED, self-published under the name "Barbara Mdivani" by R. Maclehose & Co., a small press unofficially affiliated with the University of Glasgow. THE ENCHANTED appeared shortly before her twenty-second birthday. Dean Southern Jennings, in his 1968 biography of Barbara, wrote, "Anyone interested in analysing the complex personality of that was and is Barbara Hutton would find innumerable clues in this book. All the disillusionment, the self-recrimination, the sadness and loneliness of Barbara Hutton are mirrored in THE ENCHANTED--perhaps the Disenchanted would have been more apt--and if she ever felt temptedto produce an autobiography, which seems unlikely, she could very well say it had already been written." Various accounts state THE ENCHANTED was printed in an edition of either fifty, seventy-five or two hundred copies (THE WAYFARER was printed in an edition of two hundred copies), all of which Hutton distributed to members of her family and friends. Because of the of copies of THE ENCHANTED and THE WAYFARER Barbara's skills as a writer have gone largely unseen and unknown; in fact, with the exception of excerpts froma few of the verses reproduced in biographies such as C. David Heymann's POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL: THE LIFE AND LEGEND OF BARBARA HUTTON they have remained hidden for nearly six decades. This then marks the first time that Barbara Hutton's poetry is being widely distributed and as a result the first time her talents have a real audience. We sincerely hope you enjoy these poems.
