The Fantastic Story Society - Ep 3 - Harold Schechter & The Killer's Needles The Fantastic Story Society

    • History

Twisted tales are normally fictional, but when we find out that there is truth behind the fiction, we're that much more riveted. Join Max Timm and Scott Markus as they discuss serial killers with research expert and author, Harold Schechter. Author of over 40 books on the topic of serial killers, Harold and your co-hosts dive deep into various true crime stories about murderers we've heard of, a few we haven't, and what the mysteries are that still remain behind some history's most notorious killers.
While Harold is an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to true crime, his end-of-episode story about Albert Fish is one that will leave your knees (and stomach) a little uneasy to say the least. It's the only portion of the episode we might want to warn you about - if you get easily queazy, you might want to skip his story about the killer's needles.
