Humans have always had a fascination for the dark side of life. While the thrills of mysteries, horror novels, and dark fantasies take readers to extremes, they generally return in on piece, reality and sanity restored. This is not always the case in the real world. The most frightening tales, the stories that keep people up at night, are all true. They frequent the news, inspire websites, and keep us watching over our shoulders as we walk down the street late at night.

In this True Crime Bundle, you'll find stories from the darkest depths of humanity. From New York Time best-selling True Crime authors, to the distant relative of America's most infamous serial killer, to tales of vigilantes, killers, and those who hunt the hunters – those who fight back.

You'll find books by New York Times Bestselling author Steven Jackson, San Francisco's own James Dalessandro, John Ferak, Gary Provost, who not only wrote true crime, but also a book on how to write True Crime, Jeff Mudgett, who tells the tale of his distant ancestor, H. H. Holmes and the Death Castle he built in Chicago around the time of the World's Fair in the early 1900s. We also have work from Burl Barer, and Bradley Nickell, not to mention Michael W. Streed, who tells the story of a police sketch artist.

With the current popularity of Serial, the podcast and Making a Murderer, the series, these books should fascinate the hungriest of crime fans, running the gamut of crimes, detection, crazy villains and dedicated lawmen. – David Niall Wilson
