The summary continues: “The killer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a parody of White City, built the ‘World’s Fair Hotel’ west of the fairgrounds—a torture mansion complete with an autopsy table, gas chamber, and a 3,000-degree crematorium.”
The book remains on The New York Times List of bestsellers for most of the decade, ranked as a National Book Award finalist, and won a Larson and Edgar Award in the Best True Crime category, according to Goodreads.
