Product Overview
FIENDS WHO PASSED FOR PEOPLE
Here, in all their uncensored viciousness, are the gruesome stories of history’s most depraved human monsters—men and women motivated by blood-madness and savage cruelties. The notorious Gilles de Rais, whose castle dungeon ran red with the blood of unnatural crimes... the fearful partners Burke and Hare, stalking the streets for the victim they would deliver tomorrow to the dissecting room… Aristocratic Marquise de Brinvilliers, who practiced her painful poisons on human guinea pigs.
Here, also, are the true accounts of Jonathan Wild, “Bluebeard” Landru, the cannibalistic Sawney Beane, and many others whose warped natures drove them to revel in savagery and torture.
