He set up shop in Chicago about that time, acquired some property and constructed on it a building of his own design. It was called The Castle, and one might be forgiven for imagining it with lightning bolts blasting stormy skies.

For it was here that he murdered untold numbers of people, women, men, children. He designed the building to incorporate a space in which he could trap and gas people.

He also allowed for his need to incinerate the bodies without releasing much aroma. His charm kept the suspicious at bay. Eventually, of course, he was found out and brought to justice, but not until he had slain somewhere between 50 and people.

Larson peppers the book with dozens of satisfying factoids, about the people he is describing and about the times. It was, despite some of the darker subject matter, a very engaging, informative, and yes, fun read.

The only thing that was missing for me would have been some kind of map to show where exactly the Fair was located, and all the other buildings he talks about I think the fair was probably located roughly on what the Museum Campus is now, but I still would like to see a map.

And the people! Burnham and Root and Atwood It says his mansion was on Ashland, I'm Ohhhh, this book is creeeeeepy and all-true!!!

It says his mansion was on Ashland, I'm wondering exactly where. And Mudgett I wonder where all of his buildings were I wonder if anyone has put together a tourist's map based on this book?

And the charming thing is that he documented everything in the back of the book in a really simple way, so if you were so inclined you would not have to be a big fancy scholar to follow his paper trail and see all of this stuff for yourself.

Power to the people! And the writing style is accessible and the voice is also very appropriate And the few times that he takes liberties and describes things that no one could ever really possibly have documented, he does so in a way that is careful and responsible.

And I think for him not to have taken the liberties would have been a mistake I think everyone who read the book would have thought there was something missing.

And what's ultimately really rewarding about this book is that the author outlines all the ways in which the influences of Fair of reverberated in American culture and the world for years afterward.

Our aesthetic sensibility as a nation was permanently changed. And our technological sensibility. And to think that all of this was planned so fast, it was like a supernova in the middle of this underdeveloped backwater oh, I said it.

I live here now, and sometimes I still think of Chicago that way. And that with all that progress comes this darkness, too, there's this underside to everything.

And with that lovely thought, I'm going to try and find the Wooded Island. View all 9 comments. The Devil in The White City is a fascinating study of the genius of two men and how they applied that genius.

At first I was worried that the book would be too gory but most of the details are left to the imagination. However, the Fair is what captivated me.

How these men managed to build such beauty and excitement with limited time, funds and a less than favorable location, is amazing. I live in Milwaukee, about a hour and a half from Chicago and I know this area well, that brought it home to me The Devil in The White City is a fascinating study of the genius of two men and how they applied that genius.

I live in Milwaukee, about a hour and a half from Chicago and I know this area well, that brought it home to me a lot. The descriptive writing painted a picture of the dazzling buildings as well as the many famous visitors.

The Ferris Wheel was such an engineering feat that it's hard to believe that it all worked, sustaining the incredible weight of the cars and the people.

The writing is absolutely superb and I could not put this book down. Afterward I spent many hours on the internet searching for photographs from the fair and was amazed to view it, it was even more spectacular than I had imagined.

There was so much to learn from this book about this time period when Chicago struggled to prove itself and it did! As described in the book I'm sure it was depressing to see the fair end and go back to a regular life, particularly during those economically distressed time.

The killings and plotting of H. Holmes were a tremendous shock to the 's society. I shiver to think how callous we have now become to such crimes.

I will highly recommend this book to everyone who loves great writing and particularly to lovers of historical fiction.

View all 16 comments. Excellent history lesson!! This book captured my attention from page 1. I enjoyed reading about many of the influential people who made this great nation what it is today.

I learned so much more than when I was a student. On the flip side, I was horrified by the murders committed by Holmes and how much of an evil character he was.

The Devil in the White City is one of those enticing little books in which you know what you're going to get, yet you read it anyway, and it delivers all the salacious excitement you desired Amid of all the magnificence and enchantment of the Chicago World's Fair The book is short.

There isn't a wealth of information to relate, but Larson squeezes what he can out of it and in an admirable fashion, artfully revealing details and teasing out the tension.

Not long after reading this, I went to Chicago for my first ever visit and a naive part of me hoped to find the World's Fair exhibits still up and running.

A hundred years and more after the event, Chicago has moved on, but the fair grounds are still used for peculiar exhibitions and one of the original buildings is still in use as a museum, so it's possible to visit the site and daydream yourself back into the glorious wonderment, not to mention the horror, if you wish.

Set to take place in , the fair has been promised to the United States, allowing a proper quadricenten Always one to enjoy a little true crime, I had this book highly recommended to me by a very close friend.

After a gruelling vote by Congress, Chicago won the bid and preparations began. Headed by Daniel H. In the background, one Herman W.

Mudgett, who goes by H. Holmes, arrived in the area and settled in Chicago. Professing a medical background, Holmes sought to invest in local businesses and lay down some roots.

His innovative ideas caught the attention of many, which was paired with his magnetic personality. Larson discusses early in the book about how Holmes laid the groundwork for numerous cases of insurance fraud, having people obtain life insurance policies and name him sometimes using more pseudonyms as the sole beneficiary.

Holmes was also known to use his eyes of the deepest blue to lock onto a woman and decide how he might have her as his own.

Larson offers up a wonderful narrative as to how Holmes subtlety lured a certain young woman away from her husband, all while having the man invest deeper into a business venture.

Once the woman had left her husband, he courted her and promised all the riches he could offer. He let nothing stand in his way, even a pregnancy that he sought to abort, removing all hurdles to his plans.

Holmes brought the woman to his suite on Christmas Eve and killed her, though never allowed a single drop of blood to flow from her, thereby hiding much of the forensic evidence.

A killer was born, at least in Chicago, though through some fast talking, Holmes convinced everyone that the victim had left to visit family, while selling her body to a local medical school once it had been disarticulated.

With the fair set to open before too long, Burnham had yet to find his piece de resistance; something that would rival the Eiffel Tower in Paris from the fair not five years before.

After a number of options proved too underwhelming and M. Ferris to create a massive wheel that would allow fair-goers to see the grounds and much of Chicago from a contained pod.

With all the other preparations, Burnham left Ferris to create his masterpiece, hoping that it would be ready for the May 1, opening.

He set about making sure everything was running smoothly, while also being feted in the most extravagant ways Larson includes the menus, which had my mouth watering.

Burnham seethed in the background, as gate admissions proved to be troubling and the bankers were ready to call in their debts. Meanwhile, Holmes found a new woman to woo, choosing to present himself with a pseudonym so that no one would get suspicious.

His plans grew as he had her help him prepare his hotel for the fair-goers, but would wait for things to really kick off before disappearing with more bodies attributable to his sinister work.

Holmes surely had a taste for death, though his was far less gruesome than Jack the Ripper, the latest serial killer whose name had been splashed all across the tabloids only a few years before.

In the culminating section of the book, Erik Larson offers the reader a glimpse not only into the wonders that the fair brought, but the intensity of Holmes and his killing spree.

While the world was introduced to Juicy Fruit chewing gum, they were oblivious to the missing women who fell at the hands of a folded cloth of chloroform.

Aunt Jemima instant pancake mix might have wooed households more so than the new cereal, Shredded Wheat , Cracker Jacks offered up a new and sweet popcorn-based snack, and new technologies for communication and inter-personal socialisation.

All the while, H. Holmes plotted horrible ways by which he could kill and feed his ever-growing need for power.

In an interesting parallel, while the end of the exposition came, Holmes was also seeking to pack up and depart Chicago.

Larson discusses some of the macabre events that saw the end of the exposition look blacker than Chicago had hoped. Larson shows how quickly things went from calm to chaotic and what led authorities to capture a serial killer no one even knew existed.

A piece that will surely stay with me for years to come, as I make sure to find more books by Erik Larson to feed my appetite for this sort of writing.

Recommended to those who love a chilling piece of true crime, as well as the reader whose love of history and late 19th century America remains high.

Erik Larson offers readers a sensational piece of true crime, though it is so much more. His subtle telling of the murders committed by H.

Featuring so much detail in the slow and methodical planning of the event, Larson pulls the reader into the middle of it all, as though they were there with Daniel H.

Burnham through trial and tribulation. Equally as stunning is the means by which Larson told of the plotting Holmes undertook for each of his victims, making sure to fit himself into the community and win over the hearts of neighbours before causing the odd and intricate disappearance.

It is this depiction that turns this from a book of true crime to one in which the reader can almost sense what is lurking in the shadows.

Some may wish to bolt their doors, others might not want to go out after dark, and still others may be left wondering about their neighbours and acquaintances, such is the depth to which Larson makes the reader feel a part of the action.

The book is broken into four parts, with vignettes that serve as chapters. This is surely one of those books that will keep the reader wondering what to expect, especially those who are not familiar with the murders.

With so much to see and do throughout the book, the reader is sure to get lost amongst all the action and the numerous characters. Erik Larson does his best to keep it straight and provides the reader with the ride of their life Kudos, Mr.

Larson, for a sensational depiction of a period of time meant to be celebratory, with a definite pall of darkness clouding over it.

I will be checking out more of your work to see what else I might learn. For anyone who might question why I might give this a four-star rating rather than the six-star rating that its research deserves, it's because it's mostly a ton of facts, interesting or otherwise, and not quite the kind of coherent narrative a person might expect as a regular novel.

That being said, it's really a fun and easy read that explores so much of what made the Chicago World's Fair in a real eye opener and imagination-sparker for pretty much all of America.

As a side-note, or perhaps For anyone who might question why I might give this a four-star rating rather than the six-star rating that its research deserves, it's because it's mostly a ton of facts, interesting or otherwise, and not quite the kind of coherent narrative a person might expect as a regular novel.

As a side-note, or perhaps a parallel-note, it focuses rather heavily on H. Holmes, serial murderer extreme who was the American equivalent of Jack the Ripper and contemporary of the same.

We have two sides of the extreme going on here. Love and ambition and art and beauty running through the muck of the extremely dirty and bloated Chicago of the day, focusing on the nasty murderer for the shock value and the dark side of the mirror.

I can't complain. It's both full of facts and a truly faithful description of the times, the players that made the Fair fantastic, as well as the failings, the madness, and the horror of its underside.

Awe and Horror, folks. It's the same coin with two sides. For that and the fact that this novel is overflowing with awesome history, I loved it.

What is fiction is relatively minor compared to the fact that it's mostly real history! And frankly, I was kinda amazed at how many cool bits I did learn!

Spectacle and Terror, folks! View all 14 comments. This is a pretty famous book, but not one that's particularly been on my radar. But I was listening to my favorite podcast as of late, Lore, and there was an episode about this story, of the Chicago World's Fair and H.

Holmes the murderer who used the venue to lure in vulnerable victims. It fascinated me, and it reminded me of this book I'd heard of.

This is definitely one of my favorite reads of Now I know this book won't be for everyone. If you don't find the politics behind and construction of the fair to be interesting, then you won't like virtually half of this book.

But the historical aspects as well as the drama and intrigue behind the fair's regulations, development and questionable success was really fascinating.

Plus there are so, so many things that we have today--inventions, historical figures, songs and other works of art--that came to fame from this fair.

It's so interesting. And I almost felt the fair had more life, had been more fleshed out by the author, than the chapters revolving around Holmes' methods and murders.

And I will definitely be checking out more books by this author. View 2 comments. Erik Larson is an amazing historical writer -- one of those rare breed who can bring the past to life and make it seem immediate, fresh, intimate and amazing.

The book is based on fact, but it reads like the best of novels, going back and forth between the team racing to put together the most important peacetime event in U.

I had no particular interest in the Chicago World's Fair, but Larson is a teacher who can make you forget you are learning.

Anywhere he chooses to take you, you can be assured the ride is worth the price of admission. Page Turning phenomenal!

The building of the Worlds Fair was fascinating all the details -and the challenges were incredible, engaging-interesting, and exquisite! My expectations were high for this book of popular history, but I wasn't disappointed.

Larson tells the stories of two self-made obsessives: Daniel Burnham, My expectations were high for this book of popular history, but I wasn't disappointed.

But as I read on, I got caught up in the sturm und drang around the fair. Despite knowing in advance that the event happened, there's lots of suspense.

Would sickly landscape architect Frederick Olmsted, best known for designing Central Park, be well enough to finish his designs and see his vision realized?

Some of the proposals to this last question are truly hilarious, including a tower so tall it included chutes for people to ride back to New York.

Larson, a former staff writer for The Wall Street Journal , has done impressive amounts of research. At times the detail is almost too much, as in the three complete dinner menus for fancy galas before and during the fair.

The Holmes narrative is structured like a thriller. At times the narrative is a little choppy, since Larson switches between Burnham and Holmes's tales.

He also interweaves a less gripping story about a man named Patrick Prendergast, which unspools like a B or C plot until its conclusion. Speaking of plots, an inevitable film is in the works, starring Leonardo Di Caprio as Holmes.

A chilling archival picture of Holmes is included. On that subject, a few more photographs of other people and places would have been helpful.

I suggest reading it before more casting is announced. Oct 07, J. Of particular interest is how the fair shows the changing character of America at the turn of the century.

At the same time, the transformation of Chicago into the fair site with attractions such as the first Ferris Wheel with a capacity of 2, riders and attendance on some days of K turned the streets of Chicago into an opportunistic killing ground.
