Strange

First couple chapters are good, informative, to the point. As the book goes on the chapters seem to get longer and more unnecessarily detailed and adding humanizing feelings and emotions to killers (most of which are unfounded and seemingly made up for the books sake - or at least I cannot find evidence of). It starts reading like some kind of fantasy crime novel instead of true crime. Very very off putting, I couldn’t keep listening.

Loved it

I absolutely loved how each story was written and performed! I will be listening to more of his work!

Superb Retelling of known and unknown

Ryan Green’s deep dive into some well known and unknown cases is great. His version brought new light to cases I thought I knew - I recommend

what was supposed to be dull and boring was exciting and thrilling to listen to

I had no expectations for this book, it was on sale and I thought why not it'll be good background noise. but I really got sucked into it, the author and the narrator does a good job at making a documentary kind of book into a horror book. it's exciting to listen to I'm glad I bought it.

Formulaic, but intense

On a couple of the stories the narration could've been better. Overall though it's done fairly well. All the stories follow the exact same formula, which probably wouldn't be a problem if you weren't listening one right after the other.

The stories themselves are disquieting at a minimum, and I had to take several breaks on some of them just processing the depths of depravity.

The worst of humanity

Ryan has a way of telling each story that grabs the reader and immerses them directly into the story. I liken it to watching a movie in your head, as you read or in this case listen to the tale being retold. Most of these killers were already well known to me as I’m a huge fan of True Crime, however his descriptions and adaptations left me shaken from time to time hearing tiny tidbits about the Torture Mom that others left out, or putrid stories of the early life of Henry Lee and Ottis that I was glad I didn’t really know. Now, I can’t unknow them…It is hard to believe such evil walks among us, but it does. I have never felt the need to pause a story or pause reading, due to the content. This one made me pause twice, and feel for the victims at the hands of such vile and repulsive human beings, that I have never felt before.

My only dislike, and it’s purely my preference, I don’t like it when the narrators try to imitate women and/or children. I would prefer to just hear them read it in their own voice.

Branched out from the typical high profile killers everyone knows

Learned about several killers that I didn’t have any prior knowledge about. The ones I did offered new details and insights.

Reader Beware

This collection contains twelve books, and the initial ones are fairly typical true crime stories – nothing particularly remarkable. However, the writing style shifts noticeably. The later books adopt a more narrative, almost fictional approach, drawing you into the story before unleashing the brutal realities of the crimes. This contrast heightens the emotional impact, making the true nature of the events even more disturbing. The graphic descriptions are unflinching and can be extremely difficult to listen to. As a visual reader, I found the detailed accounts created vivid, unsettling mental images that were hard to shake. If you're considering this collection, be warned: it's not for the faint of heart and is emotionally taxing. Two particularly disturbing stories were "Torture Mom: A Chilling True Story of Confinement, Mutilation and Murder" and "Trust Me: The True Story of Confession Killer Henry Lee Lucas."

oh boy

I listen to a lot of true crime, some of these were really hard to listen to. overall a good listen.

Told from a first person perspective.

I’ve read or listened to a lot of true crime and I was surprised to hear a couple of accounts I had never heard. I really liked the detail of the backgrounds that was given. This is one that I will
Come back to and listen again.
