This is another installment in the Cleveland death and disaster series by John Stark Bellamy II. I love all these books. They don't cover any cases in depth but give a concise and quick read with plenty of pictures and headlines (which is where the titles came from) from the papers. It's like digging into an old newspaper archive.

Anyone who liked Bellamy's series about historical crime and horror in Cleveland will like this book about historical crime and horror in Vermont. It's basically the same thing; only the setting is different. However, I am disappointed by the lack of photographs and illustrations; his Cleveland books had many pictures, but this Vermont one has none at all. I would have liked to have seen what the people in the stories looked like.

A gift from Bo Gerbic, the author also wrote “They Died Crawling” Bo gave me this book because one of the stories is about the Collinwood Fire. I could not read it nor the story on the insane asylum fire. The other stories were interesting and detailed. Bellamy writes well and takes his information from Cleveland’s newspapers, sadly, several stories are unsolved and I wonder if the crime was committed today, would it still remain unsolved? The torso killings were especially frustrating, somehow these should have been solved.
