Well... I know I'm a super-lightweight when it comes to horror... so no one should take my assessment seriously when it comes to things I consider "spooky". Still, I couldn't sleep for a couple of weeks as a result of having read this book. It's not meant to be read as a horror story... but truth is often stranger than fiction and that is precisely why it boogled my mind so much. Author has interwoven two completely unrelated stories and lives into one period true crime "story"... the many coincidences make it read like a novel. Highly recommended to anyone who is remotely facsinated by America's gilded age.
