Sword And ScaleSeason 1Sword and Scale Episode 30
The story of Herman Webster Mudgett, otherwise known as H.H. Holmes, has been told numerous times: a brilliant man with so much potential yet so inherently evil that his actions would require new words be created to describe the monster that he was. We are joined by Dane Ladwig author of the book "Dr. H. H. Holmes and The Whitechapel Ripper" and Jeff Mudgett author of the book "Bloodstains". Jeff's last name is no coincidence, he claims to be the great-great-grandson of H.H. Holmes himself.
