The Untold Truth of America's First Serial Killer

H. H. Holmes, the alias of Herman Webster Mudgett, is one of the most terrifying Americans to have ever lived. Executed just before he turned 35 in 1896, Holmes' violent life remains shrouded in mystery; he may be responsible for more than 200 murders.

A fraudster and a creep for much of his life, Holmes left his mark on history with his nightmarish Chicago "murder castle," a building custom-designed to suit his killer needs. Complete with torture rooms, mazelike hallways, soundproof chambers, and chutes leading directly to the basement, the castle had everything Holmes needed to commit his heinous crimes. This is the untold truth of America's first serial killer.
