Murder Tales: The Mummy's Boys

By: H. N. Lloyd

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

How far can a mother’s influence twist a mind? In Murder Tales: The Mummy’s Boys, true-crime historian H. N. Lloyd investigates killers whose perverse crimes were fuelled by warped family bonds and dark sexual impulses. This volume delves into some of the most infamous cases on record. You’ll discover how John Reginald Halliday Christie framed his neighbour for murder, watched him hang, and was later unmasked as one of Britain’s worst post-war serial killers. You’ll meet Ed Gein, the backwoods recluse whose grisly deeds inspired the cinematic nightmares of Norman Bates, Leatherface and Jason Voorhees. And you’ll examine the chilling story of Ed Kemper – the towering “Co-Ed Killer” who murdered his grandparents as a teenager, convinced psychiatrists he was cured, and then went on to kill eight more times. Completely revised, re-edited and expanded with new chapters, this edition offers fresh insights into these and other chilling cases. If you’re fascinated by the sinister intersection of family, psychology and murder, this Murder Tales volume will have you turning each bloodstained page with equal parts dread and fascination.
