Book Synopsis The Curse of Santa Cruz by : Stephanie Michel
Download or read book The Curse of Santa Cruz written by Stephanie Michel and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Curse of Santa Cruz was inspired by the true story of the annihilation of the Ohlone Indian Nation and the legendary curse that was bestowed upon what many would consider one of the most hauntingly beautiful places in the world. Throughout the ages, things happened in Santa Cruz that were unexplainable and downright absurd. With the entire city basically built on Indian burial grounds, one thing after another happened in the famous city by the sea, that quite frankly, no one could explain. Alfred Hitchcock was on to it when he lived and wrote two of his most famous works, "The Birds" and "Psycho" while residing there. There were so many murders in the 70s, the district attorney made a public announcement calling Santa Cruz, "Murder Capital of The World," leaving it riddled with harrowing anticipation and a blanket of black fog that can only be described as unimaginable. How do you tell an entire civilization that you are sorry for the wrongful and massive slaying of their people? How can one express the remorse, sadness, and the regrets that one finally feels after generations of intentional torture, thievery and destruction to one another? How can one ever repay a debt so deep? Whose fault is it and where do we start? A high school history class explores these questions, and after a semester of painful trial and errors, they find the answers within themselves and discover the path to the truth.
Book Synopsis Killer on the Road by : Ginger Strand
Download or read book Killer on the Road written by Ginger Strand and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2012-04-04 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting in the 1950s, Americans eagerly built the planet’s largest public work: the 42,795-mile National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. Before the concrete was dry on the new roads, however, a specter began haunting them—the highway killer. He went by many names: the “Hitcher,” the “Freeway Killer,” the “Killer on the Road,” the “I-5 Strangler,” and the “Beltway Sniper.” Some of these criminals were imagined, but many were real. The nation’s murder rate shot up as its expressways were built. America became more violent and more mobile at the same time. Killer on the Road tells the entwined stories of America’s highways and its highway killers. There’s the hot-rodding juvenile delinquent who led the National Guard on a multistate manhunt; the wannabe highway patrolman who murdered hitchhiking coeds; the record promoter who preyed on “ghetto kids” in a city reshaped by freeways; the nondescript married man who stalked the interstates seeking women with car trouble; and the trucker who delivered death with his cargo. Thudding away behind these grisly crime sprees is the story of the interstates—how they were sold, how they were built, how they reshaped the nation, and how we came to equate them with violence. Through the stories of highway killers, we see how the “killer on the road,” like the train robber, the gangster, and the mobster, entered the cast of American outlaws, and how the freeway—conceived as a road to utopia—came to be feared as a highway to hell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From inspiring Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho to being the stalking ground of serial killers, Surf City, USA, has a spooky history with a West Coast twist. Though generally a peaceful coastal city, the dark stains from Santa Cruz’s past still linger. A former Spanish Mission, Holy Cross Catholic Church harbors a dark history of a brutal revolt of native Ohlone people that killed the cruel Fr. Andres Quintana. Frequented by mobsters and celebrities in its heyday, the famous Brookdale Lodge’s most talked-about guest is the ghost of a little girl who died nearby in 1892 after nearly drowning. Terrorized by three different serial killers during the 1970s, the city earned the nickname of “the Murder Capital of the World.” Local resident Alfred Hitchcock derived inspiration for his iconic film Psycho from the haunted mid-nineteenth-century Hotel McCray. Tracing the city’s eeriest incidents back to their roots, historical researcher and paranormal investigator Maryanne Porter details these and many more stories of local legend and lore. Includes photos! “[Porter] vividly retells the darker aspects of Santa Cruz history, and shares recorded experiences, including some of her own, at popular local haunted sites like the Brookdale Lodge and Sunshine Villa.” —GoodTimes

With pressure pushing in from all sides, a promising breakthrough leads the detectives to Tess Lyons, a woman whose past trauma has left her too damaged to appreciate the danger she’s in. Unwilling to let another woman die, A.L. and Rena will put everything on the line to keep Tess safe and end the killer’s deadly spree once and for all—before time runs out again.

Book excerpt: “A new collection of short fiction stories explores a seedier side of this beach town filled with murder and mystery.”—KAZU FM In Akashic Books’ award-winning series of original noir anthologies, each book comprises all new stories set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. Following in the footsteps of Los Angeles Noir, San Francisco Noir, San Diego Noir, Orange County Noir, and Oakland Noir, “we get a series of crime stories rich with surf culture in a town loaded with itinerant spirits, typifying Santa Cruz as a place to be lost, or get lost, or lose yourself. That ethos permeates the stories in the collection, granting them an intriguing grittiness that might otherwise be missing. Concluding with a serious gutpunch of a story, Santa Cruz Noir is a worthy addition to the series” (San Francisco Book Review).

Download or read book Edmund Kemper written by Hourly History and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edmund Kemper To the average American, there was nothing out of the ordinary about Edmund Kemper before 1973. Standing at six-foot-nine, the young man was a giant, but he was gentle, soft spoken, and shy. He lived with his mother into his mid-twenties and frequented local bars, cozying up to police officers-a job he had once hoped to hold himself but couldn't since he was too tall. This was one reality of Kemper's life-the reality he wanted those around him to see. There was another side to the man though, a much darker side. Kemper's actions in his life shocked America, who dubbed him the Co-Ed Killer for his urge to murder and violate co-ed girls in Northern California. Inside you will read about... - Hatred is Born - Kemper's First Murders - Institutionalized with an IQ of 145 - The Co-Ed Killer - Kemper's Grand Finale: The Death of His Mother - Arrest, Imprisonment, and Parole And much more!
Download or read book Edmund Kemper written by Ryan Becker and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real Crime by Real Killers A series where we explore how normal individuals turned their darkest fantasies into a reality. Edmund Emil Kemper III achieved notoriety as a serial killer when he took the lives of 10 people between August 27, 1964, and April 21, 1973. His victims included his adoptive grandparents, six co-eds from the University of Santa Cruz, his mother, and his mother's friend. This book explored the life of Kemper from his abusive childhood to his sentencing in November 1973. The horror of Kemper's actions go beyond the killing of his victims; it was what he did with his victims' bodies after killing them. Necrophilia, cannibalism, and dismemberment were all part his routine in his attempts to satiate his morbid desires. Just as terrifying as his dark fantasies were his ability to appear and function as an average person, allowing him to avoid raising suspicion in those he interacted with, including law enforcement. Contrary to the myth that serial killers kill indiscriminately, Kemper's killing spree may have been rooted in the hatred that he felt for his mother. In an interview after his capture, he admitted that he was intentionally developing his killing skills with each co-ed that he killed. He was training for the ultimate murder, which was the killing of his mother. From beginning to end, the book provides insights to why Kemper became a serial killer as well his mindset behind the killings.
