FOUR CHILLING TRUE CRIME STORIES IN ONE COLLECTION FROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR RYAN GREEN

Volume eight contains some of Green’s most intriguing accounts of violence, abuse, deception and murder. Within this collection, you'll receive:

The Monster Within: A True Story of Bloodthirst, Brutality and Barbaric Evil
Prostitutes and animals could no longer satisfy Peter Kürten’s sexual deviancy. No one was safe. He committed ferocious attacks, sexual assaults and murder against men, women and children. 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.

Smile: Behind the Lens of the ‘Dating Game Killer’
Cheryl Bradshaw was a contestant on the popular TV matchmaking show, ‘The Dating Game’. From a lineup of eligible bachelors, she selected the handsome daredevil photographer, Rodney Alcala. A chilling truth lurked behind the camera lens. Rodney Alcala was a serial killer in the midst of a chilling rampage. Hiding in plain sight.

The Baby Farm Murders: The Terrifying Case of the Angel-Maker, Amelia Dyer
Evelina Marmon gave birth to her daughter, Doris. As was typical of the era, she pursued adoption to ensure a more stable future for her child. She believed she found a solution in Mrs. Harding, who would provide a loving home for her child as a nurse and a respectable married woman. However, her intentions were far from caring for Doris. In fact, she wasn’t married, and her real name was Amelia Dyer.

The Hunt: The True Story of Alaska's Most Notorious Serial Killer, Robert Hansen
In the 1970s, a local baker harboured a dark secret that plunged Anchorage into a state of terror. Robert Hansen transformed the pristine Alaskan wilderness into his personal hunting ground. As the remains of women began to surface, the authorities assembled to track down this merciless murderer.

True Crime Horror

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. This collection contains horrific crimes of sexual deviance, child murder, serial killers and deadly killing games.

Mr. Green always delves into the past of these killers but does not try to justify their crimes by blaming the parents or their circumstances. 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. Too often when you read true crime, the victims take a backseat to the killers. These stories are told in a manner that is almost like reading a novel instead of just stating cold hard facts. The opening chapters always draw the reader into the truly terrifying moments of the victims and the action never stops.

The narrator is perfect for this type of book, with a clear voice, perfect timing and "just the facts" style of performance.

Terrifying but absolutely true!

This single volume will supply enough material to fuel your nightmares for some time to come. The ultimate horror comes when you consider that each terrifying tale is absolutely true. No one can bring the machinations of a disturbed mind to life quite the way Ryan Green does. His books stand alone in their unique blending of fact and psychological analysis that bring the characters to life in your mind as you read about their upbringing, their struggles, their obsessions, and their revolting deeds. In this collection you will meet Peter Kürten, the Vampire of Düsseldorf, a man sometimes referred to as the king of perverts who was filled with a sadistic rage which held Germany in a grip of terror in the late 1920s. You will be introduced to (or, depending on your age, possibly reacquainted with) Rodney Alcala, a young man who not only charmed his way onto a popular 70s TV show, The Dating Game, but beat out the other bachelors to win a date with the featured bachelorette. The world was shocked when it was later discovered that he was, in fact, a brutal serial killer. The third book in this collection will take you back to Victorian England to follow the tragic life and appalling actions of Amelia Dyer, a woman without a shred of conscience who preyed upon the most vulnerable members of society in a sickening trade that became known as baby farming. Lastly, the chilling details of Robert Hansen’s life are laid out with a thorough precision lacking in other accounts I have read about this seemingly mild-mannered baker made infamous when his perverse penchant for hunting young women through the harsh wilderness of Alaska finally came to light. Each story is vividly depicted with a well-organized account of the subject’s life and crimes and each story offers a haunting look into the depraved depths to which some individuals, for whatever reason, may sink. All the stories are true, all are horrifying, and all will stay with you long after you finish listening to this collection. If you have an interest in history, criminology, or criminal psychology, I recommend this volume as a must listen. The narrator, Steve White, proves once again to be the perfect choice for this material with his smooth, flawless delivery of each story.

While I did purchase each of the books in this collection as they were published, I was gifted an Audible code for this collection. I am grateful to the author for this consideration, but I am offering my honest and unbiased review on a completely voluntary basis.
