Maniac: The Bath School Disaster and the Birth of the Modern Mass Killer by Harold Schechter
4.0
Ooooph what a tragedy. This was a well researched piece that moved at a really fast clip. Schechter tells the story of a disgruntled farmer who took out his financial woes by bombing out a school and killing 45 people.
It’s a heartbreaking and gruesome story that does not draw out needless details. I’d read another of this author ‘s true crime anthologies earlier this year and a few of the summaries repeat so the last chapter is nearly skippable.
