We’re diving into Bloodstains, written by Jeff Mudgett, a direct descendant of one of America's most notorious figures, H.H. Holmes. Holmes, as you may know, was a 19th-century serial killer, believed to have murdered dozens, possibly even hundreds, of victims in his infamous 'Murder Castle' in Chicago during the World’s Fair. But this book isn’t just a biography of a distant relative—it’s a haunting memoir of Jeff’s journey as he uncovers his connection to a man who is widely considered one of history's first serial killers. It’s a tale of self-discovery wrapped in horror, mystery, and unanswered questions. We’ll explore the book’s key revelations, its eerie blend of fact and speculation, and what it might be like to face the disturbing possibility that you share blood with a monster.
