Review of HORRORS: Horror: Horrifying Stories of True Paranormal activities and Ghost Stories That You Wish Were Not True! By Frank Chastain

An apropos title, for this set includes quite a number of "true scaries," and a collection of some of the world's worst killers.

Serial Killers: , & Murder: Scary Stories, & True Stories of the Most Terrifying Serial Killers the World has Ever Seen! (Ted Bundy, Jack the Ripper, ... Unsolved Mysteries, Torture Book 1)

This volume presents 5 notorious (or less so) serial killers: 3 male, 1 female, 1 whose gender as well as identity remains unknown. These are New York's Long Island Killer (or Killers), San Francisco's Zodiac Killer, The Night Strangler Richard Ramirez who murdered in both Los Angeles and San Francisco, the Boston Strangler (who may or may not have been Albert DeSalvo), and the beautician-turned-nurse Genese Jones, who despite a sentence totally 99 years, will be up for parole in 2018.

The author reports the cases in some detail, taking pains to point out that some of these (Long Island Killer, Zodiac Killer, Boston Strangler) have never been satisfactorily closed, so quite possibly the killers could still be at large.

The author also offers for our entertainment and edification true-life scares, some from folklore, others collected from life, including some of his own scares. Prepare for spine-tingling chills and provoked pondering. Recommended: don't read at night. I love horror even more than I love history, and have been reading horror and hauntings for the last 6 decades--and these are SCARY!!
