The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America - Erik Larson

Well so far loving the illustrations and how the book is being set up. I have been meaning to read about Henry H Holmes for years. Tying him together with architect Daniel Hudson Burnham is very interesting. 

 

Reading about the Chicago's World Fair in 1893 seems surreal. I cannot imagine going into a place that got around 700,000 visitors a day. The sites that were built some beyond comprehension.

 

I am reading this one for the Creepy Carnivals square.
