Devil in the White City - Erik Larson - A Short Summary & Review

A short summary of the book Devil in the White City:

The story behind the 1893 World's Fair and the H.H. Holmes Castle.

My favorite Erik Larson quote from the book:

"Besides his own person and his own interests, nothing is sacred to the psychopath."

Questions I pondered while reading Devil in the White City:

How can we prevent serial killers?

Can mixing stories be overwhelming?

My thoughts about Devil in the White City:

Chicago has such a past.

Two books in one.

How are these things made?
