Murder & Mayhem in Boston
Author: Christopher Daley
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1625853068
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
A century of Boston’s thrill killers, psychos, and fiends—notorious in their day, now nearly forgotten—from the Antebellum era through the 1970s. The Boston Strangler may be the most infamous serial killer in Massachusetts history, but his crimes pale in comparison with the carnage of those profiled in this chilling compendium. Covering a century the city’s heinous past, journalist Christopher Daley reveals nine of the most sensational cases that once made headlines across the country: Kenneth Harrison, aka “The Giggler” whose random victims ranged from children to men to an elderly woman he tossed over the Broadway Bridge, just for fun; upstanding Albert Tirrell, who claimed he was sleepwalking when he slit the throat of his mistress, prostitute Maria Bickford, and set her on fire; Jesse Pomeroy, a natural-born sadist and, at fourteen, the youngest convicted serial killer in the annals of American crime. Here too are the shocking tales of the Bussey Woods murders, the Barrel Butcher, the Boston Skull Cracker, and more. Featuring rare photographs, as well as maps to extant crime scenes, Murder & Mayhem in Boston is a must for true crime aficionados.

Pages : 302
Book Description
INSIDE THE BOSTOM MARATHON BOMBING: This shocking true crime account is an eye opener for anyone with lingering questions about one of the most notorious acts of terrorism since 9/11. “You may think you know this story, but until you read this book, you don't.” —T. J. English, New York Times bestselling author This page-turning narrative goes a long way toward answering nagging questions about the notorious Boston Marathon Bombing, such as: Where were the bombs made? And what had been Tamerlan Tsarnaev's relationship to the FBI? Mayhem casts a spotlight on the U.S. Government’s relationship with the older Tsarnaev brother as his younger brother, Dzhokhar, continues to sit on death row, even today. As they infamously did with Whitey Bulger, federal agents appear to have protected Tamerlan because of his value as a paid informant—and they shielded Tamerlan from an investigation into the ISIS-style triple murder of 3 friends on September 11, 2011. A substantially revised and updated edition of McPhee’s Maximum Harm, Mayhem reports the details and delivers the facts about the Boston Marathon Bombing—piecing together the puzzle so readers can finally reach their own conclusions.

Narrating the News
Author: Karen Roggenkamp
Publisher: Kent State University Press
ISBN: 9780873388269
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Due to a burgeoning print marketplace during the late nineteenth century, urban newspapers felt pressure to create entertaining prose that appealed to readers, drawing on popular literary genres such as travel adventures, detective tales, and historical romances as a way of framing the news for readers. Using current events for their source documents, reporters fashioned their own dramas based on those that readers recognized from a broadly drawn literary culture. The desire to spin attractive, popular tales sometimes came at the expense of factual information. This novel, commercialized, and sensationalistic style of reporting, called new journalism, was closely tied to American fiction. In Narrating the News Karen Roggenkamp examines five major stories featured in three respected New York newspapers during the 1890s - the story of two antebellum hoaxes, Nellie Bly's around-the-world journey, Lizzie Borden's sensational trial, Evangelina Cisneros's rescue from her Spanish captors, and the Janet Cooke Jimmy's World scandal - to illustrate how new journalism manipulated specific segments of the literary marketplace. on vital topics in literary and cultural studies - gender, expansionism, realism, and professionalization. Unlike previously published studies of literature and journalism, which focus only on a few canonical figures, Roggenkamp looks at part of the history of mass print communications more generally exposing the competitive and reinforcing interplay between specific literary genres and their journalistic revisions. Narrating the News provides an original, significant contribution to the fields of literature, journalism history, and cultural studies.
