The Devil Came to St. Louis by Troy Taylor
4.0
3.5/5
I really enjoy when a book that deals with conspiracy or the supernatural really has a problem with its identity between being a full-out scary story as it was originally intended to be told and being this sober, factual piece of journalistic research. This book does exactly that. I also found entertaining how the author wanted to protect the identity of the victim and yet managed to fully list out every single detail including photos, addresses, dates, priests involved, mental health institutions, and even a high school yearbook picture. I find that funny. Other than that considering the notoriety of the case it's a very interesting read.
