Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'What I want is an off the shelf sex partner. I want to be able to use a woman whenever and however I want. And when I'm tired or bored I simply want to put her away.' - Leonard Lake Jeffrey Dahmer who was obsessed with dead animals when he was younger, later got sexual satisfaction from eating his victims as he felt like they became a part of him. John Wayne Gacy toured the children's wards in hospitals, dressed in a clown costume of his design, but beneath the exterior, laid the killer of 30 boys and men. Rose West met Fred West when she was 15. Even before marrying in 1972, violence, rape, incest, torture voyeurism and paedophilia were already part of a normal day for the couple. Chambers of Horror is a study of the warped thinking that went into some of the world's most macabre crimes, as well as a clinical examination of the purpose-built rooms, hidden spaces, and soundproof dungeons prepared for victims, including quotes from the criminals. From the massive 'Murder Castle' once used by Dr. H. H. Holmes to prey upon those attending the 1893 Chicago World's Fair to the hand-tooled box under the bed where Cameron Hooker kept his 'sex slave', Chambers of Horror covers famous cases of the past along with many from the modern age. John Marlowe takes the reader on a disturbing journey through a world of murder and mayhem, providing insight into evil and the motivations of monsters.

Book excerpt: An ancient betrayal echoes across time and space Boring—that’s what Marilyn thinks her family is. Completely, horribly normal. All except for her great-aunt Zenobia, a scandalously independent world traveler with the most exciting stories. Marilyn always looks forward to her spirited great-aunt’s visits, but this time, Zenobia seems to have something unusual on her mind. Marilyn can’t refuse when the obviously worried Zenobia asks her to hold on to something for safekeeping—a beautiful amulet found in the Egyptian desert, with a center stone so vivid and sparkling, it almost seems . . . alive. Suddenly Marilyn’s dreams turn dark as she’s tasked with a terrible mission: to keep whatever is inside the amulet from gaining its freedom—and with it, revenge.

Book excerpt: Create your character and roll the dice—it’s all just a game . . . or is it? Why can’t Tansy’s boyfriend, Travis, be into something normal—like football? Instead, he likes complicated games with magical characters and fantastic setups. In fact, Travis just discovered a new one called Spirits and Spells, which he’s sure will be a huge hit. To try it out, Tansy, Travis, and four of their friends gather one night in an abandoned mansion—the perfect setting for their spooky quest. All six accept their characters’ roles and special abilities and set off to find four objects of power that Travis has hidden nearby. But as they move deeper into the house, the players encounter obstacles that definitely weren’t supposed to be there, and the dangers start to seem all too real. Before morning, each of them will be forced to call on their new powers as they struggle to keep their magical identities from taking over and getting what they really want: a way back into this world.

Download or read book Henry Cole and the Chamber of Horrors written by Christopher Frayling and published by Victoria & Albert Museum. This book was released on 2010 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating book, Christopher Frayling shows how the Victoria and Albert Museum's first director attempted to define the principles of good and bad design, and in doing so laid the foundations of one of the world's great public institutions. Henry Cole's provocative ideas on the education of manufacturers and consumers through design and the arts dominated national debates at the time. His gallery of false principles, which opened in 1852 at Marlborough House and came to be called the 'chamber of horrors', was in effect the Museum's inaugural exhibition. Many of the exhibits in the chamber of horrors are now lost, but all those known to survive have been recovered and brought together here for the first time. What was then despised and why makes engaging reading a century and a half later. This book is based on the inaugural Henry Cole Lecture given by Christopher Frayling in 2008 to celebrate the opening of the V+A's Sackler Centre for arts education. The first in a series to explore the relationship between culture and society, it is published with the support of the Royal Commission for the Great Exhibition of 1851. For designers, curators, cultural historians and the museum-going public, the book resurrects a great Victorian experiment whose influence is still felt today.

Download or read book The House of the Wolf written by Basil Copper and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the last of the great traditionalists of English fiction." - Colin Wilson "An outstanding British writer in the genre." - August Derleth "Britain's leading purveyor of the macabre." - Peter Haining High above the Hungarian village of Lugos rise the towers of Castle Homolky, whose subterranean dungeons contain the remains of a chamber of horrors once used for the torture of enemies, and whose tragic and violent history has caused it to be known as The House of the Wolf. Into this legend-haunted region comes John Coleridge, an American professor and expert on lycanthropy, who is staying as a guest of Count Homolky while attending a conference on European folklore. After a villager is found dead with his throat torn out and a huge black wolf with seemingly preternatural powers is seen stalking the halls of the Castle, leaving scenes of bloody carnage in its wake, Coleridge and his colleagues must hunt the beast. But is the killer a wolf, or could the unthinkable be true: that one of the Castle's inhabitants is actually a werewolf? After the success of his Victorian gaslight Gothic tale "Necropolis" (1980), published by the legendary Arkham House, Basil Copper (1924-2013) returned with another atmospheric Victorian chiller, "The House of the Wolf" (1983). This first-ever paperback edition of Copper's classic includes an introduction by the author discussing the influences on his novel, including Universal and Hammer werewolf films, an afterword by award-winning editor Stephen Jones, and more than 40 illustrations by Stephen E. Fabian.
