		Barnet Schecter provides the most detailed narrative of the riots, and also places them within the national context of the Civil War and the local context of ethnic, racial, and political conflict during the decades from the 1840s to the 1870s.
		As Barnet Schecter dramatically shows in The Devil's Own Work, the cataclysm in New York was anything but an isolated incident; rather, it was a microcosm—within the borders of the supposedly loyal northern states—of the larger Civil War between the North and South.
		Barnet Schecter is the author of The Battle for New York: The City at the Heart of the American Revolution.

		Harold Schechter is a professor of American culture at Queens College (CUNY) who takes an academic interest in the history of violent folklore: "Our pop entertainments aren't necessarily more brutal than those of the past," he writes.
		Harold Schechter's descriptions of not only Fish's crimes but also the things that he did to himself -- sticking needles up his groin, whipping himself etc -- turned my stomach.
		Harold Schechter, probably the finest writer in the true-crime genre, triumphs with this factual and scholarly work about a monster whose crimes are almost unparalleled in their savagery.

	dOc DVD Review: H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer (2004) - Printable
		Writer/director John Borowski tackles the legend with his documentary H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer, spending 64 minutes exploring the killer's life and times, using a combination of stock footage, old photographs and new reenactments filmed in an intentionally grainy and jittery stylized manner.
		In between splendidly ominous narration from Tony Jay, Borowski also interjects some comments from Harold Schecter (author of the outstanding Holmes bio Depraved), as well criminal profiler Thomas Cronin and forensic expert Marian Caporusso.
		This is the kind of tale that would seem farfetched in a novel, but knowing that it really happened makes it all the more disturbing.

		It's very funny in that National Lampoon sort of way, but I can't help but wish that Jason Cohen and Michael Krugman, the authors of Rolling Stone Online's "Well Hung at Dawn" column, had written this first -- they really have the lovable alpha male routine down.
