About the Book

A fascinating look into the mind of one of America's first serial killers!

Who was H. H. Holmes, the killer made famous in the "Devil in the White City?"

Did he build a 'Murder Castle' to lure victims into secret rooms, vaults, and gas chambers and to prey on Chicago's World's Fair travelers?

In Holmes' Own, you will discover:
