Customer Reviews

Oddly compelling

This book was macabre at best. Strange but true story...that you can't put down. A good read, but not for the faint of heart. I had seen the story originally on the History Channel and had to know more....

True life creepiness.

I really liked this book. I read Undying Love before I read this book and although I like that book alot I'd have to say this one is better. It reads like a novel and at time I felt like I was actually there with Von Cosel. It really makes the Key West of the 30-s + come alive. I couldn't read it fast enough. This book differs from the afore mentioned book in many ways and I've heard some complaints from people who knew people from this time, bit this one is magnetic. It takes hold and won't let go. If you want a good scare and love being creeped out this is the book for you. If you read only one Von Cosel book this is it.
