In this third installment, I delve into some of the most appalling (yet lesser-known) crimes of our time, walking with you through a truly shocking odyssey of wickedness. I’ve delved deep into the annals of true crime, and compiled an anthology of tales even the most knowledgeable of crime readers are unaware of.

He preyed on the women of Paris, assaulting them in horrific ways before ending their lives mercilessly.

A serial killer fanatic lured Julia back to his home before killing and dismembering her with the help of an accomplice. Explore the twisted minds of Robert and Stephen Spahalski, a case of identical twins who were bound by blood - but united by their disturbing criminal acts. Read about the head-spinning web of deceit crafted by Dalia Dippolito, a woman whose cunning manipulation and determination to kill her husband will shock you. While this case reads like a script for a far-fetched thriller movie, this case is no tale of fiction. Uncover the truth behind the tragic and senseless murder of Angela Samota, a young woman whose life was brutally cut short, with unimaginable cruelty. Decades passed with Angela’s killer free to roam the streets... but would advancements in DNA help snare her murderer and bring them to justice?

Explore the chilling stories of humanity’s most sinister individuals in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Four. I’ll uncover hidden horrors of recent history, walking you through a haunting lineup of lesser-known crimes. I’ve scoured the dark and disturbing archives of true crime to present an anthology of cases that even the most informed crime followers may not have encountered before. I’ll cover the hard-to-hear but little-covered tales that have somehow evaded the headlines: from murder to kidnapping to senseless acts of violence, Volume Four covers some truly horrific tales. I’ll unravel the grisly story of a seemingly ordinary (aren’t they always?) individual who carried out monstrous acts of depravity. His acts were so violent and senseless, you’ll find yourself wondering how people like this become so monstrous. His dark desires would lead to a series of terrible acts that saw the criminal get away with his crimes - until he decided to taunt the police. Would his overconfidence be his downfall? You’ll learn about the twisted tale of a woman whose desperation for motherhood led her down a path of wicked deception and murder. The culprit in this case made herself appear pregnant, showed friends and family fake ultrasounds and went as far as having a gender reveal party for the baby she wasn’t having. This tragic tale culminates in a truly barbaric and gruesome crime pulled straight out of a nightmare. Follow the story of Sarah Stern, a young woman whose life was cut short by the unimaginable betrayal of a friend she trusted. The search for justice would unearth a series of chilling revelations and deceitful schemes that led to her untimely and horrifying end. To her attackers, Sarah’s life was worth a mere few thousand dollars. Explore the deranged tale of a young man whose violent and brutal crimes show complete and utter disregard for human life - even the lives of those closest to him. Unbelievably, this criminal carried out one of his brutal attacks while on bail - for another murder he’d been detained for. I’ll also cover the harrowing and frustrating ordeal of a kidnapping victim who endured unimaginable abuse and torment at the hands of her sadistic captor. In a true crime rarity, the victim would survive her nightmare, and her resilience and strength would see her pursue justice relentlessly. But would her efforts to bring her tormentor to justice be in vain? Get to know these chilling cases along with other lesser-known crimes in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Four. As with each book in this series, I delve deep into the darkest areas of humanity, recounting real-life cases of murder, violence, and unspeakable cruelty humans have carried out on one another. Keep this in mind before immersing yourself in these stories.

Presents scholars, students and general readers with the major fiction for adults, much of the best of juvenile fiction, and a selection of the educational and occasional writings of Maria Edgeworth. MARIA EDGEWORTH was born in 1768. Her first novel, Castle Rackrent (1800) was also her first Irish tale. The next such tale was Ennui (1809), after which came The Absentee, which began life as an unstaged play and was then published (in prose) in Tales of Fashionable Life (1812), as were several of her other stories. They were followed in 1817 by the last of her Irish tales, Ormond. Maria Edgeworth died in 1849. Edited with an introduction and notes by Marilyn Butler.

Publisher: Seven Stories Press
Total Pages: 354

Genre: Comics & Graphic Novels
ISBN: 1609807863

The first of two volumes builds on the brilliant and original Graphic Canon series in retelling classic works of literature as comics and other visual forms. Organized thematically, Volume 1 opens with "The Act" (think In Cold Blood and A Clockwork Orange), followed by sections dedicated to "Criminals," Whodunit," "Judgment" (Scarlet Letter, anyone?), and "Punishment." Here you'll find stunning and suspenseful adaptations starring classic PIs Sherlock Holmes, Auguste Dupin, Hercule Poirot, Father Brown, Mike Hammer, and teenage girl-detective Violet Strange. But the mystery, intrigue, and foul play don't end (or begin) there. The artists also bring to life crime stories from the Arabian Nights, the Bible, The Canterbury Tales, China's Song Dynasty, Shakespeare, James Joyce's Dubliners, Patricia Highsmith, Truman Capote, and current writers like Stephen King, Jo Nesbo, and Sara Paretsky. Rick Geary brings his crisp style to Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Teddy Goldenberg gives us a dense, murky treatment of Dashiell Hammett's "The Road Home," often considered the first hardboiled detective story ever published. C. Frakes resurrects the forgotten novella "Talma Gordon," the first mystery written by an African American; and Shawn Cheng renders the first serial-killer story, the so-called fairy tale "Bluebeard" by Charles Perrault. Even the very natures of crime, justice, and punishment are up for grabs. Landis Blair reimagines The Trial, as a choose-your-own-adventure story that you cannot win, Ted Rall retells an O. Henry story about a petty criminal who just can't get arrested. From The Marquis de Sade to James Cain, Aeschylus to Paula Hawkins, crime and mystery has never been so brilliantly reimagined.
