Publisher's Synopsis
FEAR THE REAPER
America's Rural Mysteries, Hauntings & Horrors
By Troy Taylor & Rene Kruse
WOODS AND FIELDS DARK AND WICKED!
Far away from the bright lights of America's big cities are the woods, forests, fields, and farms of America's heartland. Hidden among these isolated spots are heartbreaking tales of murder, mayhem, brutal violence, and ghosts. Such accounts of depravity and murder seem to be far removed from what we mistakenly believe to have been the "good ol' days" of our country's farms and fields. But, as you'll soon find, those days weren't always good and the isolation, loneliness and despair of country life often led to horrific acts that can hardly be imagined outside of our worst nightmares.
From seemingly normal farmers who one day snapped and slaughtered their family to murderous hired hands, dangerous drifters, depraved lunatics, and worse, the reader will soon find there was something sinister lurking in the old woods and forests, the fields, farms, and small towns of America and the tales that remain about that sinister darkness are sure to convince you to make sure the doors are locked after the lights are turned out at night.
Discover the chilling stories of the Murders on Saxtown Road; The "Inhuman Butcher;" The Meeks Murders; The "Moonlight Murder;" The Hoskins Family Murders; The Lawson Christmas Murders; The Wolf Family Massacre; The "Babes in the Woods;" The Clutter Murders of "In Cold Blood;" Ed Gein; the Keddie Murders; Fox Hollow Farm; and more!
If you've ever believed that the most horrendous crimes in history occurred in the big cities, then you'll be both shocked and frightened by those who that occurred in the quiet countryside, along the dusty backroads, in the dark woods, and outside the small farming towns of America - and by the ghosts those crimes left behind.
