About this audiobook
Serial killer Gary Heidnik's name will live on in infamy, and his home, 3520 North Marshall Street in Philadelphia, is a house tainted with the memory of unbelievable horrors. What police found there was an incredible nightmare made real. Four young women had been held captive-some for four months-half-naked and chained. They had been tortured, starved, and repeatedly raped. But more grotesque discoveries lay in the kitchen: human limbs frozen, a torso burned to cinders, an empty pot suspiciously scorched . . .
This is not a story for the faint-hearted. Cellar of Horror is a shocking true account of the self-proclaimed minister with a long history of mental illness, who preyed upon the susceptible in a bizarre plan to create his own "baby factory." It is a macabre web spun around money, power, and religion, tangled with courtroom drama and lawyers' tactics, sure to send a chill into your very soul.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A well-written book documenting the horrendous actions of an (INSANE) murderer. It is hard to fathom that there are more individuals like Gary Heidnik , roaming and prowling among us.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Written immediately after the trial there was not a lot of investigation into some of the missing pieces. No interviews with school friends or anything like that. Just a straight forward book about what he did and the trial after. Lots of interesting stuff in the trial part of the book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've read this book twice. Last night I finished it for the second time. It is such a weird crazy story that when I was reading Slave Girls by Wensley Clarkson and he had a chapter omitted to this story I had to go downstairs and find this book again.
How he set those women against each other. He made Rivera kill the other girl but thanks to her they were also saved.
Have to see if Gary heidnik is still alive.
