Some Families Just Can't Hack It - Antonia Monacelli - Bog

Some Families Just Can't Hack It is a book of short stories inspired by real historical murders. While most people are taught to beware of strangers the reality is that most murders are committed by someone closer to the victim. In these five tales of family dysfunction at its finest, Antonia Monacelli uses traditional research mixed with real genealogy to uniquely portray these accounts of familicide from years past. By combining true crime with historical fiction, readers are given a chance to experience real murders from a different, and bone-chilling perspective. Each story includes not only the fictional tales of murder and mayhem that transpired, but the details of the real cases that inspired them as well. Although the stories are fiction the crimes that inspired them are both real and horrifying. So grab a cup of tea, lock the door, and prepare for your toes to curl and your blood to run cold.
