There have been monsters among us lurking in the darkest corners of America, preying on children since the first settlers arrived on our shores. They have always been with us, stalking the innocent, from the days of the original colonies, to the Gilded Age, the Depression, and beyond. 

These monsters are not the stuff of fiction. They are bloodcurdlingly real, and they still walk among us, always looking for their next victim. In this chilling book by author Troy Taylor shines a light on the darkest tales of horror and hauntings from American history and presents a terrifying collection of dark crimes perpetrated against our most tender victims - our children. 

His most disturbing book yet includes nightmarish tales from the 19th century - when the “good old days” were never good - like the Monster of the North Wood, the Pocasset Horror and the Girl in the Cellar, and continues into the modern day with accounts of the Kluxen Woods, America’s first school massacre, Wineville Chicken Coop Murders, “Babes of Inglewood”, Suzanne Degnan, the Girl Scout Camp Massacre, the “perfect murder” of Bobby Franks, and many more. 

Be warned: This is not a book for the faint of heart. These are tales contain some brutal, agonizing, and terrifying scenes of horror. It is not for those easily disturbed, and if you are bothered by the subject of this book, then it is not the book for you. Seriously, don’t listen to it. And don’t say we didn’t warn you.
