Acerca de esta escucha
Prostitutes and animals could no longer satisfy Peter Kürten’s sexual deviancy. During a burglary of a local tavern, he stumbled upon a nine-year-old girl asleep in her bed. He strangled her, slashed her throat with a pocket knife, and orgasmed upon hearing her blood drip to the floor.
His crimes were halted by World War I and an eight-year prison sentence but he unleashed his urges with a spate of brutal murders in 1929 earning him the nickname "The Düsseldorf Monster."
No one was safe. He committed ferocious attacks—sexual assaults and murder—against men, women, and children. He used blunt objects, sharp implements, or his bare hands, before drinking their blood for sexual satisfaction.
The Monster Within is a chilling account of Peter Kurten, one of the most terrifying serial killers in true crime history. Ryan Green’s riveting narrative draws the listener into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.
Caution: This book contains descriptive accounts of abuse, extreme violence, and animal cruelty. If you are sensitive to this material, it might be advisable not to listen.

Historia
For years, Eddie Lee Sexton ruled his large family like Charles Manson. The depraved patriarch dominated his ragged brood of twelve children mentally, physically, and sexually, and enforced every cruelty imaginable, from vicious beatings to raping his daughters and fathering their children. Finally, in 1992, Sexton's eighteen-year-old daughter Machelle, seeking refuge in a women's shelter, revealed the shocking, sordid details of her father's abuse to authorities. As the law attempted to catch up to Eddie Lee Sexton, he moved his family to a mobile home in western Florida.

Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Historia
I have discovered a group of women who refuse to be exploited, are immune to manipulation, and who never settle in the name of love. These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

In the eight lectures of The Abolitionists, Professor Kellie Carter Jackson of Wellesley College will bring you along as she traces the history of the fight to end slavery in America, from its relatively quiet origins to the turning point at Harper’s Ferry to the Civil War.

The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

They then drove to the nearby town of Bennet, where a farmer was robbed and killed. When Starkweather’s car broke down, the teenagers who stopped to help were murdered and jammed into a storm cellar. By the time the dust settled, ten innocent people were dead and the city of Lincoln was in a state of terror.

She was the rarest of female psychopaths, a woman who engaged in wholesale slaughter, partly out of greed but mostly for the sheer joy of it. Between 1902 and 1908, she lured a succession of unsuspecting victims to her Indiana “murder farm". Some were hired hands. Others were well-to-do bachelors. All of them vanished without a trace.

These counts were appealed and in 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its conclusion.

Truly horrific!
I have read many books by author Ryan Green and I have to say that I think this was the most disturbing one for me. In fact, I would advise potential readers to be sure that they are able to tolerate the horrific sexual deviance and animal abuse detailed in this book. The first chapter is especially chilling as it details the first crime committed by the monster in the title.
Peter Kurten, known as the Vampire of Dusseldorf and the Dusseldorf Monster, was definitely a monster. Raised by a horrifically abusive father in Germany in pre-WWI times, Peter learned his cruelty at an early age. At first, it was animals that suffered his abuse, but when that was no longer a big enough thrill, he began to hunt down human victims.
The author has done a great deal of research into the crimes committed by Kurten and the ways that the authorities finally tracked him down. This book was so intense that I had to take a few breaks to try to get the nightmarish images out of my mind.
I always appreciate the way that Mr. Green brings personalities to the victims of these crimes so that they become much more than just a name on a page. And, even though Kurten is totally unrepentant about his violent acts, the description of his early years makes you realize that some people really don't have much of a chance to break the cycle of violence.
If you are fan of true crime books, you can't go wrong with a book by Ryan Green. Impeccable writing more in the style of a novel brings the story to life and even though you know the ending won't be pleasant, you can't look away. The narrator, Steve White, has become the voice of Green's books and he does his usual great job with this book. His performance brings the horrors of this true crime tale to life in a way that you won't soon forget.

The Monster Within - A sadist/Muder Story
Where do I begin? This was a difficult listen for me due to the explicit abuse and cruelty on people and animals alike.
This is the story of sadistic murderer Peter Kürten, also known as The Düsseldorf Monster/Vampire . The story spans from his troubled and violent childhood through his first murders (at the tender age of 9) and to his escalatory behavior, never able to satiate his 'urges'. No one was safe. He committed ferocious attacks, sexual assaults and murder against men, women and children. He used blunt objects, sharp implements or his bare hands, before drinking their blood for sexual satisfaction.
The Monster Within is a chilling account of Peter Kürten, one of the most terrifying serial killers in true crime history.

Another great true crime from Green
I had heard of this killer before but didn't really know the story, which is both tragic and brutal. Green delivers as always with his usual detailed yet succinct style of true crime. This book is not for the faint of heart, but I recommend it to all true crime and history buffs.

The title says it all...
This detailed examination of the horrific life and crimes of Peter Kürten, historically known as "The Vampire of Düsseldorf" and the "Düsseldorf Monster", gives new meaning to the term cringeworthy. As per usual with any of Mr. Green’s work, the research is thorough and meticulous, and his writing combined with the impeccable narration of Steve White will transport you directly into events as they unfold, but be advised that this story is a particularly difficult one due to the grisly nature of Peter’s depravity. As with so many serial killers, his childhood was horrendous beyond imagining and the abuse he endured undoubtedly contributed to the shocking behavior manifested by Peter from a young age. Given the ghastly treatment he received at the hands of his brutish father, it is little wonder that Peter developed into a vile being of boundless sadistic rage devoid of any moral compass to reign in his gruesome appetites.

Contained within is an unforgettable and riveting account of that train wreck of humanity, at once sickening and compelling. The title says it all.
