On February 20, 1926, landlady Clara Newman, 60, opened her door to a potential tenant who enquired into the availability of one of her rooms. Despite his grim and bulky appearance, he introduced himself politely and in a soft-spoken voice whilst clutching a Bible in one of his large hands.
She invited him in. The moment he stepped into her home, he lunged forward, wrapping his oversized fingers around her throat and forced her to the ground. She couldn’t scream. He had learned the dangers of a scream. She slowly slipped into darkness. Given what would follow, it was probably a kindness.
The "Gorilla Killer", Earle Nelson, roamed over 7,000 miles of North America undetected, whilst satisfying his deranged desires. During a span of almost two years, he choked the life out of more than 20 unsuspecting women, subjected their bodies to the most unspeakable acts, and seemingly enjoyed the process.
The concept of serial killers were largely unknown to the North American public in the 1920s, but the local authorities and press were fast becoming aware of the devastating and horrific reality that unfolded before their eyes. Nelson would eventually become the first real "superstar criminal" who everyone had heard of and talked about. Before Bundy and BTK, there was Earle Nelson.
Gorilla Killer is a chilling account of Earle Nelson, the first known American serial sex murderer. Ryan Green’s riveting narrative draws the listener into the real, live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.
Caution: This book contains descriptive accounts of abuse and violence. If you are especially sensitive to this material, it might be advisable not to listen any further.

His early childhood was horrible, with both his parents dying from venereal disease. It is probable that Earle's mental issues started due to syphilis contracted at birth. Even though his upbringing was horrific and you have to feel some sympathy for him, his crimes were beyond despicable.
Since Earle's murder spree was during the 1920's, sharing information and distributing crime reports was very different than it is today. In light of today's TV series, movies and books, Earle's crimes were not as bothersome as they would have been to the naive citizens in the Twenties.
I "enjoy" reading the author's take on true crime stories of the past. His style of adding his own embellishments to enhance the facts that he can find make the stories easier to read and add a fresh perspective IMHO. If you want a completely factual recitation of the crimes, you might not like this type of book. But, if you enjoy a well-written book and don't mind the gruesome details involved in the true crime genre, Ryan Green's books should be a perfect fit.
The narrator, Steve White, does a great job with his narration. His pacing is perfect and his performance adds a lot to the listener's enjoyment. I was given the chance to listen to this audiobook by the author and chose to review it.
