Product Description

Product Description

As a child, Earle Leonard Nelson was unnaturally obsessed with the Bible, and before reaching puberty had an insatiable, aberrant sex drive. In the winter of 1926 he embarked on a 16-month frenzy of rape, defilement and murder. This is an account of a depraved man and his horrific crimes.

4.0 out of 5 stars EARLE LEONARD NELSON - 'THE DARK STRANGLER', 19 Jun 2001
By Paula Lees "ladybrum" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bestial: The Savage Trail of a True American Monster (Paperback)
The year was 1926 and a 16 month frenzy of rape, murder and defilement of ordinary women began. Women that were strangled in their own homes, their bodies hidden underneath beds and stuffed crudely into trunks. And so begins the story of Earle Leonard Nelson. Harold Schechter (author) has painstakingly revealed in depth Nelson's whole life, from his earliest childhood right through to his wander lust killings. The pages of the story flow, and you never feel that "you've missed something in the story." Today, Nelson would be known universally as a serial killer (though that term was about 50 years away), and you come to realise that there is nothing necessarily new about the m.o. of todays modern serial killers after reading this book. Full praise for the author, and for the detailed account of Nelson's life, murders and eventual capture. Highly recommended reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars bestial indeed!, 4 Feb 2001
This review is from: Bestial: The Savage Trail of a True American Monster (Paperback)
this book has to be highly recommended to any lover of the true crime genre. earle leonard nelsons life is covered in great detail by the author who has done a sterling job separatimg fact from fiction. nelson became known to the public as the "gorilla murderer" because of an offchance remark heard by a reporter from a crowd of people not because he looked like a simian.the book begins with nelsons early life and the death of his parents, his strange religious fervour, his habit of wandering off un announced and his returning without saying where he had been. his murders are well covered as is his capture and conviction. i do not want to spoil your enjoyment of this book so i will say no more about it. the book itself is available in paperback and is securely bound and set. recommended!!!!
