I was just looking at this, I'm thinking about reading it.

>misunderstood genius
you'd have a nigger dindu nuffin mentality to believe this
Jose Powell
Isn't he who AHS Hotel was based on?
Lincoln Davis
Not sure, I bailed after the first episode.
Dominic Diaz
What the fuck is a "contemporary successor"? An oxymoron is what
Evan Sanchez
you're right, I meant today's serial killers
Cameron Sanchez
read that book this year, it's pretty good. Not just the Holmes half the Architecture and organization and realization of the World fair is also interesting. Holmes was somewhat of a highly intelligent sociopath who could hack most people into doing and believing the absurdest things. Everywhere he went he spread trust especially with females. He would have debts all his live but would talk himself out of many of them with ease. He had his wives and even their children killed while pretending they went elsewhere without anyone noticing for years. For me he is one of the most pragmatic serial Killers he just wanted to kill as many as possible with the means he had
Logan Brooks
i read it a long time ago but its really interesting in general. lots of fascinating chicago history combined with a compelling psychopath main character.
Jaxon Davis
No matter how creative or clever a serial killer may have been, they are still taking other people's lives for personal gratification. There's no way to reconcile that selfishness.
Not to say we shouldn't learn what we can from them, if only to better understand the darkness inside us all. It's kind of like the "forbidden study" in medicine: human experimentation isn't permitted on ethical grounds, but if some wacko in a dungeon during the Second World War has data from thousands of trials on human dismemberment, we aren't going to throw that knowledge away.
Oliver Nelson
Well you do have plenty of modern serial killers who have a "house of horrors" like your Gacy and your Dahmer. I think that the difference is the diligence of record keeping. Bluebeards like Holmes (and black widows) were very popular back then and it's damn hard to pull that off these days. Red flags come up.
Ryan Morris
You're telling me this guy built a real life version of Sen's Fortress?
Hunter Parker
that's a good way to look at it
kek pretty much
John Mitchell
Yes, and I'm glad it was because that's how I found out about him. Very interesting man. Serial killing a crazy hobby that would be very interesting. HH was smuggling rum up in my hometown on the west coast of Canada while on the run from the American police
Nicholas Cruz
Wasn't season five of American Horror Story loosely based around him?
Nolan Wood
Bluebeard? I think there are probably others who have never been caught with insane high scores, we just never find them because they make the bodies disappear for ever
Ayden Harris
>Devil in the White City, an upcoming film starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Holmes, is set to be directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Billy Ray, based on the book of the same name.
Landon Gonzalez
I heard through the grapevine last year or so that Scorsese is making his next movie about him. DeCaprio may be involved as well.
