ERIK LARSON
AUTHOR’S NOTE
“In the following pages I tell the story of these men and this event, but I must insert here a notice: However strange
or macabre some of the following incidents may seem, this is not a work
of fiction” (Larson xi).
AUTHOR’S APOLOGY
“I beg forbearance, too, for the occasional side journey demanded by the story, including
excursions into the medical acquisition of corpses and the correct use of Black Prince
geraniums in an Olmstedian landscape”
(Larson xi).

Dr. H.H. Holmes
“I was born with the devil in me. I could
not help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than the poet
can help the inspiration to sing.”
