The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America | Erik Larson

Day 25 - #Chicago #DevilintheWhiteCity #ErikLarson #LetsTravelAugust

This excellent read immediately came to my mind for Chicago!

Bringing Chicago circa 1893 to vivid life. A book that intertwines the true tale of two men - the brilliant architect behind the legendary 1893 World's Fair, striving to secure America's place in the world: and the cunning serial killer who used the fair to lure his victims to their death.

Twainy I‘m still laughing about this book. I finished this book thinking what a horrible horror novel it was cuz it read more like true crime. LOL (it was recommended to me as a great horror novel) ... as true crime it was really good. 5y

EadieB @Twainy That's funny! 5y

Just finished this one, and boy did it carry me through.

This book is an amazing mingling of story of H.H.Holmes and the very true to life take of the Chicago World‘s Fair.
Fair warning to anyone looking to read a book just about H.H.Holmes, this is not it. It‘s much more a tale of the Fair, and the horrors that took place alongside it.

RadicalReader @Tricia_Ann where did you encounter this incredible coffee cup?! 6y

Tricia_Ann @RadicalReader I found it on Etsy! I can‘t recall the shop but theres a lot of great hand thrown mugs available there. I think at least 50% of my mug collection has been purchased from an Etsy shop 😅 6y
