Little Slaughterhouse on the Prairie

Bloodlands collection

De: Harold Schechter

Narrado por: Steven Weber

At a remote little inn not far from the Kansas homestead of Laura Ingalls Wilder lived the Bender family. These pioneers welcomed unwary visitors with jackrabbit stew and a sledgehammer to the skull.

In time, their apple orchard gave up its secrets - a burial ground for their mutilated victims, each stripped of their possessions. The devilish enterprise on “Hell’s Half-Acre” would earn the Bloody Benders an undying place in the annals of American infamy. But it was the mysterious fate of eldest daughter, Kate, that would make them the stuff of mythic campfire prairie tales.

Little Slaughterhouse on the Prairie is part of Bloodlands, a chilling collection of short addictive historical narratives from bestselling true-crime master Harold Schechter. Spanning a century in our nation’s murderous past, Schechter resurrects nearly forgotten tales of madmen and thrill-killers that dominated the most sensational headlines of their day.

I enjoyed this short true crime story. Worth listening to, recommend for the true crime lovers

Crazy story of a wicked family

This is a very interesting story, made better by Weber’s sultry voice. I could listen to him read the phone book. But luckily, it’s also a well-researched and written book.

Interesting story

Interesting story but a very dull narration. I felt like he was just stating facts instead of actually telling the story with any passion or inflection in his voice

Meh..

Helps to “kill” an hour. Definitely not my favorite story that Audible has to offer..

Excellent True Crime History
