Book Description
Anyone who sat in a murderer's old chair in an English public house would die, and soon, said the legend, and a series of sudden deaths was blamed on the cursed seat. Journalist Paul Bannister delved into the story of the Baffling Chair of Death, and became the National Enquirer's chief reporter of the paranormal. As 'Tabloid Man, ' he covered more than spooks and psychics, however. Headline tales about celebrities like Oprah, O.J. and Obama also came from his notebook, and this frank memoir reveals just how the scandal sheets get their sensational stories, as well as revealing the secrets of classic tabloid tales, from getting Elvis' Last Picture to finding the world's tallest Christmas tree.

The Murder of the Century
Author: Paul Collins
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307592219
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
The “enormously entertaining” (The Wall Street Journal) account of a shocking 1897 murder mystery that “artfully re-create[s] the era, the crime, and the newspaper wars it touched off” (The New York Times) AN EDGAR NOMINEE FOR BEST FACT CRIME • “Fascinating . . . won’t disappoint readers in search of a book like Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City.”—The Washington Post On Long Island, a farmer finds a duck pond turned red with blood. On the Lower East Side, two boys discover a floating human torso wrapped tightly in oilcloth. Blueberry pickers near Harlem stumble upon neatly severed limbs in an overgrown ditch. The police are baffled: There are no witnesses, no motives, no suspects. The grisly finds that began on the afternoon of June 26, 1897, plunged detectives headlong into the era’s most perplexing murder mystery. Seized upon by battling media moguls Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, the case became a publicity circus, as their rival newspapers the World and the Journal raced to solve the crime. What emerged was a sensational love triangle and an even more sensational trial. The Murder of the Century is a rollicking tale—a rich evocation of America during the Gilded Age and a colorful re-creation of the tabloid wars that forever changed newspaper journalism.
