Resumen del Editor

As cozy as their house had seemed, there was a cold secret beneath the house. At the bottom of the basement stairs and beyond a small pond-like sized puddle was where evil lived. It was the only part of the house that was always cold and damp no matter the time of day or time of year. Structurally speaking, it was part of the house but there were two, perhaps three steps that separated home from hell. Time at the bottom of those stairs didn't seem to exist either- like a black hole between space, where the air was always still and metallic. It had seen so much horror, it become death itself. In this basement, death was the butchers apprentice and William Suff was the master. A simple country man. A family man. His way of life - this was the way he and his family survived. He provided for them and he was good at it. Unbeknownst to him, the brutality of his actions caused people pain and suffering - the people that he butchered and maimed then killed. In fact, it was alleged that he used the breast of one of his victims in his chili, which won the Riverside County Employee Chili Cook-off. In The Chili King, author Brian Lee Tucker examines the case through William Suff's eyes, through his mind, and beyond, into a nightmarish world where death is the normality and cannibalism the main course.

Made me lose sleep -- brilliant!

This was a thrilling true crime examination that delved into the case of William Suff. I felt as though I could see reality through this madman's eyes. His world was a horrific nightmare that kept me up at night. I was left with no answers or riddles unsolved about cannibalism and this broken mind. The narration was chilling and completely entertaining. I will check out more of what this author has to offer in the true crime genre.

Did I Just Buy Bad Porn?

This seems to be nothing but the author’s sadistic sexual murder fantasy. He calls it a look from the actual murderer’s perspective, but having never actually interviewed the killer or researched any of the facts of the killer’s life or details of the horrific crimes he committed, the author simply made up his own. This rambling spew of imaginary garbage reads like back alley BDSM porn. To see these victims victimized all over again for the author’s pleasure and for every budding sadistic sexual butcher to enjoy is unacceptable. I returned it immediately. I recommend you not buy it and I recommend Audible discontinue this selection.

Nothing like the official record

This story has nothing to do with the official record of events... even the cause and manner of death of the victims isn't similar to the police reports.

Horrible

He was from my home town… a horrible take on this event…
He and his crimes were evil.
