This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). Humanity has achieved great heights. We have landed on the moon, placed a powerful computer in our pockets, cured numerous diseases and brought the world the most evil and deranged serial killers. There are very few that stand out quite as much as H. H. Holmes and his Murder Hotel. In fact, his notoriety is so great that Hollywood embarked on a blockbuster about him and now it is even claimed that Britains most notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper, was none other than H. H. Holmes himself. He presided over the "castle". A devilish architectural creation in down town Chicago made specifically to murder people. Trap doors, chutes, false doors, hidden passageways and spy holes made the Murder Castle the infamous building of its age. Many victims were beaten to death. Some were strangled. Others gassed. And yet more were tortured on racks before they lost their lives. He was not just satisfied with the gruesome murders of adults, Holmes sadistically tormented and killed children as well. In one case he chopped off a young girls feet and buried her with her sister. When he was finally caught, he confessed to twenty seven murders, although it is believed by many that he murdered over 200. But it is not the number of deaths that is the cause of his devilish fame, it is in fact the methods he used. He said that he had been possessed by the devil from the day he was born - and who are we to argue? This is the tale of the evil dark lord of the Murder Hotel - guts and all.
