The Real Life Indiana Jones: The Biography of V. Gordon Childe - The Man Who Inspired a Cinematic Icon

5/23/2013

Picture
Indiana Jones made anthropology sexy. His adventures took him through all corners of the world and made the life of an academic professor seem more fit for a CIA field agent. Very few cinema legends, however, can survive without taking inspiration from real life people--that is certainly the case with Indiana Jones.

While some have contended T.E. Lawrence was the inspiration for Jones, a better candidate is someone a little less known in the world of pop culture. His name was V. Gordon Childe. While he may not be known to the mainstream world, his contribution to the world of anthropology were greater than few others. This biography will explore the man and the legend, and let you come to your own conclusion about if he was the real Indiana Jones.

Picture
The rumored famous last words of serial killer Thomas Neill Cream was "I am Jack the..." Cream was in prison at the time of the Ripper murders, but that didn't matter...he was fascinated by London’s premiere serial killer, and perhaps a part of him believed that his own killings established some kind of killer bond.

Cream may not have been the infamous Jack the Ripper, but he was just as brutal and sadistic. Cream could have settled being a respected surgeon, but there was something about taking a human life that he just could not resist. 

In this book, we'll take you on the trail of this doctor turned madman--from his first murders to his ultimate capture and trial.

Leopold and Loeb were two wealthy law students who could buy anything. But they wanted the one thing that no amount of money could buy: life. They wanted to create the Perfect Crime--to kidnap and murder a 14-year-old boy for the thrill of getting away with murder.

The crime was so horrifying that even legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock took notice, and directed his version of the story: Rope. But the real story of the Rope is much more brutal and suspenseful than even Hitchcock could do justice to. 

Read the real history in this thrilling true crime book.

The Lonely Hearts Vampire: The Bizarre and Horrifying True Account of Serial Killer Bela Kiss

Picture
In the early 1900s young women began disappearing near Budapest. Bela Kiss, a handsome young soldier, answered the call of war and left his home to fight in the first World War. His landlord, upon hearing of Kiss's alleged death, discovered several large barrels on his property, which he was told were filled with gasoline for rationing. When the barrels were opened, instead of gasoline, the authorities discovered something much more sinister.

This short history describes the hunt for one of the world's most terrifying killers, a man who lured women to him home with promises of marriage, then proceeded to strangle them, drain their blood, and leave their pickled bodies preserved in barrels. The most horrifying fact about his crimes may be that he was never caught, and possibly picked up his murder spree in New York City. Read the chilling details in this book, and be careful next time you answer a romance ad!
