From: Amazon Posted: Nov 05, 2007 Type: User Review Could it be?

This book kept me at the edge of my seat... or pillow, depending on what time of day I was reading. It was an easy read, but yet gripping and almost to much to believe.

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 28, 2007 Type: User Review Schecter's best

I have read all of Schecter's books and this is the best. He captures the psychological and historical portrait of one of the most fearsome killers in history. This bone chilling story will stick with you.

Identified by witnesses as the "Gray Man" because of his color and withered appearance, Albert Fish left an impression on criminologists for generations to come. His bizarre sadistic, cannabalistic, pedophiliac and coprophagic behaviors were...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 15, 2007 Type: User Review You Cant Make Stuff Like This Up.

You cant make stuff like this up. It's more bizarre than the Thomas Harris fiction about Hannibal Lecter. And it's real.
