I love history and I love horror so I loved this book. Two talented men driven towards their respective passions. Art & Murder. Two separate stories that are perfectly intertwined. The hardships on people towards the end of the 1800s as well as the naivety. The charm & wits of Burnham & Holmes. The eerie castle and mystifying fairgrounds. The stench of Chicago. I really got into this story. Reminds me of the book Gangs of New York. Can't wait for the movie. There's a hour long documentary on H.H. Holmes streaming on Netflix currently.
Glad you dug it. Feel free to borrow any of his other novels from me. I loaned Thunderstruck to the Magician and he really dug it. You two could swap.
