THE SCARIEST STORIES ARE REAL. TRUE CRIME

IN COLD BLOOD Truman Capote In November 1959, in a small Kansas town, the entire Clutter family was savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. Five years later, on April 14, 1965, Richard Eugene Hickock and Perry Edward Smith were hanged for the crime at the gallows of the Kansas State Penitentiary. It is here, in Capote’s long-heralded masterpiece, that the brutal crime and years of investigation that followed are chronicled—in what is considered the first “true crime” novel ever written.

MANSON: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF CHARLES MANSON Jeff Guinn More than 40 years ago Charles Manson and his commune killed nine people, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate, in the culmination of a criminal career that author Jeff Guinn traces back to Manson's Cincinnati childhood. Painting Manson as a killer in the context of the turbulent 1960’s, Guinn shows us how Manson created and refined his message to fit the times…and combined it with a bizarre “race-war” obsession that would result in the brutally infamous murders still discussed to this day.

MURDER & MAYHEM ON OHIO’S RAILS Jane Ann Turzillo Make no mistake—railroading was a dangerous job in bygone days. The West may have had Jesse James and Butch Cassidy, but Ohio had its own brand of train robbers. Ride the rails with some of the most vicious killers and robbers and learn their stories: how Alvin Karpis knocked off an Erie Railroad train and escaped with $34,000, how the first peacetime train holdup took place in North Bend, and how numerous passengers and crew alike were robbed and killed.

A KILLING IN AMISH COUNTRY: SEX, BETRAYAL, AND A COLD-BLOODED MURDER Gregg Olsen Barbara Weaver was as pretty and happy as any of the women depicted on the covers of her favorite "bonnet" stories—romance novels set in Amish America. She had everything she wanted: five beautiful children, a home, a husband, and her faith. But while Barbara was happy to live as the Amish have for centuries—without modern conveniences—her husband, Eli, was more tempted. It what was only the third murder in hundreds of years of Amish life in America, Barbara would end up killed in her own bed, shot at close range by a woman linked to her own husband through the internet, sex, and the ultimate betrayal.
