UNTIL DEATH DO US PART

MURDER, MAYHEM & MALEVOLENT TALES OF LOVE GONE WRONG

BY TROY TAYLOR

There is no question that we are fascinated by murder. And among those murders, there are none we find more intriguing than crimes of passion. They're compelling for many reasons, not the least of which is that crimes of passion are offenses not usually committed by criminals - but by ordinary men and women who only become criminals because of these acts.

Love is strange - and it can also be tragic, murderous, twisted, horrible, and even cruel. Intense love is a form of madness that can inspire insanity, even in those who never seemed unhinged before. This special kind of madness has led to torture, stalking, obsession, abuse, and, yes, even murder. Love can push a man or woman to unthinkable things - direct responses to betrayal, broken hearts, ruined lives, injured pride, jealousy, and probably all the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins. It can even happen when someone can't have something - or someone - they desperately want.

And then there are those couples who share their madness between them, resulting in dire and horrific events. Sometimes, lovers can bring out the best in one another -- at other times, not so much.

In this blood-curdling book, Troy Taylor presents an American history of love, murder, and insanity with stories of murderous couples, violent ends, "lonely hearts killers," monsters, ghosts, "black widows," "bluebeards," obsessed stalkers, meat cleaver waving madwomen, and more. Read this one at your own risk - you never know who might be sleeping beside you!
