The Cannibal
4 journalers for this copy...
This fair-condition paperback is from my "gory details" collection - books about various forms of death have always fascinated me. This one's about Albert Fish, a serial killer and cannibal who did his truly appalling work in the early 1900s, and the book goes into the horrifying, heart-wrenching, and unutterably gruesome aspects of his case.

I'm adding this book to chefcrossing's Serial Killers bookbox, which will be on its way to marriedfairy in Arizona soon. Hope someone enjoys it!

Full of those gruesome details that sell this sort of book. On the whole I preferred Schechter's version and I'm glad I read the other book first.
What a wonderful surprise I found in my mailbox today.
Thank you so much for this tag-along book.
Looking forward to reading both versions of this book.
