and the Legacy of a Mob Life - A Mafia Killer

Review:The deep love of this family come through in these pages, and should remind us all that we are not any one thing, but different things to different people. You understand each emotion Albert goes through, how he got to each one, and feel his pride, confusion, conflicting, and pain. He did a wonderful job of making you see his dad through his eyes. He doesn't try to change who his father was, or downplay it, he simply shows his dad's other side. I'm glad Albert came through healthy and able to h... Read more

They were in essence creating clandestine burial grounds for demented psychopathic Mafia murderers.

Sanford Clark and the True Story of the Wineville Murders

Review:An unbelievable and tragic story of a young boy forced to endure torture of emotional and physical nature from his own family, for lack of a better term.

The Shocking True Story of Ed Gein - the Original Psycho
The Shocking True Story of Ed Gein - the Original Psycho

Review:For me, this book is extremely overpriced. I thought it may be worth it but it wasn't. It just rambled on and on until I couldn't take it any more and returned it before I finished it. No sense in wasting my time! I prefer to read about the full background of the perpetrator and little inside the courtroom. Before I was in 40%, he had been caught and the legal story and high publicity began. Bored. Read more
