WARNING This book is not for the faint of hearts. Due to explicit scenes of violence and murder, it is recommended for adults only .
In this riveting box set, an award-winning Canadian Author delves into the gritty, gruesome details of the most notorious spree killers, school shooters, and serial killers the world has ever seen. >>>> (Read how Edmund Kemper decapitated his mother's head, used it as a dartboard, and then cut out her voice box and placed it in the garbage disposal.)
"Cold Blooded Killers is a blood-curdling collection of some of the most famous and the least known multiple-murder cases. I primarily bought this book as a source file for my own writing as I find the information to be well-informed and easy to read. The very human stories in this massive collection are filled with the tragedies of the victims' encounters with the abnormal criminals who most of us thankfully avoid in our day-to-day lives. Some very eclectic selections and some well-known cases are presented to us by a writer who is always striving to advance in his True Crime expositions. The thing I like most about this author's true crime writing is that the victims are never forgotten and the murderers are not sensationalized but portrayed for what they really are, sociopathic cold-blooded killers." - William Cook

Changing History - Two Notorious Serial Killers, One Name
Whenever my friend Dane Ladwig writes a blog about his upcoming book Dr. H.H. Holmes and The Whitechapel Ripper, I will post it on my website but encourage you to also follow his blog. This is story that I'm following closely and really looking forward to reading this book later this year.

Up-and-Coming True Crime Writer - Author Dane Ladwig
My good friend
Dane Ladwig
is a rising star in the True Crime writing business and this year is going to be his year to shine. In the later part of 2013, Dane is releasing a book, that he has worked on for many years, called "Dr. H.H. Holmes and The Whitechapel Ripper". Dane has spent nearly 40 years researching the notorious serial killers, Jack the Ripper and Dr. H.H. Holmes. I don't know the facts, nor have I read any part of the book yet, as it's being very well guarded. What I do know is that Mr. Ladwig is going to prove to the world, that Jack the Ripper and Dr. Holmes are not two separate serial killers, but one and the same man.
There have been countless books written on Holmes and even more on JTR, some have even speculated it was a she, Jill the Ripper. Fraught with hard evidence, Dane Ladwig is going to re-write history. I've read other books along the same lines before where the author(s) inserted fiction into the book(s) therefore leaving the readers not know what is fact or fiction. Not a smart move in my opinion. The author loses all credibility. Dane is not only an avid researcher on this topic, he's a historian and subsequently now, a true crime author.
Most recently, I had several up-and-coming authors audition for the first annual True Crime - Serial Killers Anthology. They were to write only 1,000 words on a real serial killer. I am happy to say that not only did I secure some big names like, Peter Vronsky, Michael Newton and Lee Mellor, Dane floored me with his short story on the 'Bloody Benders'. He has a flair and God given talent for writing true crime and I didn't waste any time in offering him to be part of this team. So, the True Crime-Serial Killers Anthology, and, Dane's Dr. H.H. Holmes and the Whitechapel Ripper will be launched around the same time. No doubt, this star will shine and his name will be recognized in our field in a short time.
Dane Ladwig recently written a blog about his upcoming book and I'd like to quote directly from it.....
"To pen such a monumental book, which will reveal facts about Herman Webster Mudgett a.k.a. Dr. H. H. Holmes and his many links to the infamous Jack the Ripper, which have never before been made public, is painstakingly difficult.
First, I must make sure the information is credible, and that includes case file information from the Holmes case and the open crime case of the Ripper. The people I am working with in the U.K. and home in the U.S. must be impeccable resources. Lastly, I must consider all possibilities before making the assumption Dr. H. H. Holmes is the principle candidate as the prime suspect in the Ripper slayings of 125 years ago.
To accomplish this enormous task, I have sought the assistance of experts from all over the globe. I am currently working with Scotland Yard, the London Metropolitan Police, the United Kingdom National Archives, the United States National Archives, the Gilmanton, New Hampshire Historic Society, Dartmouth College, the University of Michigan Medical School, and various experts and certified investigators in a unified and collaborative effort to expose the truth.
What has this benefited so far? Good question. I will share a misunderstanding people have had for several decades regarding Dr. H. H. Holmes. While Holmes was incarcerated, he documented his story. He told of a tale when he was a small boy living in Gilmanton, NH.
The sensationalized story passed on from Holmes was regarding his schoolmates, “hooligans”, who shoved him into a doctor’s office and frightened the boy Holmes/Herman Mudgett, by thrusting an articulated skeleton upon the terrorized child. This was only partially true.
My research has discovered the true story; the doctor’s identity, and a bond/relationship the doctor and Herman had throughout Herman’s life until the doctor’s unfortunate passing. Coincidentally, the doctor graduated Dartmouth College and mostly lectured at the University of Michigan Medical School. Herman Mudgett/Holmes attended Dartmouth for one year and graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School.
This is but a brief moment of the research I am conducting to bring Dr. H. H. Holmes and the Whitechapel Ripper into the focus of speculation. Was Dr. H. H. Holmes coup de grâce, his most significant contribution to society and history, to be disregarded as the murderous Ripper for a century and a quarter, and go unnoticed… as a ghost in the night?
Just when I think I have Holmes figured out, someone sends me more information. When dealing with Holmes, I have learned there’s always a new angle, a new direction. To be the first to bring it together, I feel like Alfred Hitchcock on the set of a Hollywood blockbuster horror spectacle – only this one is real. This one really did happened!"
