Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary "Decades before the coining of the term "serial killer," H.H. Holmes murdered dozens of people in his now-infamous Chicago "Murder Castle." This book uses Holmes' writings and confessions to inspect how the Arch Fiend represented himself. His biography mirrors the narrative structure of the true crime genre that emerged decades after his death"-- Provided by publisher
