Chambers of Horror is a study of the warped thinking that went into some of the world's most macabre crimes, as well as a clinical examination of the purpose-built rooms hidden spaces and soundproof dungeons increasingly prepared for victims. Cases include: Josef Fritzl, Ariel Castro, Anthony Sowell, Michael Alig, Robert Berdella, Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, David and Catherine Birnie, Jerry Brudos, Reginald Christie, Marc Dutroux, Philip and Nancy Garrido, Fritz Haarmann, H. H. Holmes, John T. Jamelske, and Joachim Kroll. Author John Marlowe specializes in providing concise yet detailed case-by-case examinations of dangerous individuals. Here he presents a carefully chosen cross-section of some of the world's most depraved modern criminals, whose fascinating life stories are viewed with an unflinching gaze, making for a chilling yet engrossing read. Perfect bedtime reading for those who want to know what is going on in those hidden, dark places the sun never reaches - where looking down the back of the sofa could lead to a very scary discovery.
