Albert Fish was born Hamilton Howard Fish in Washington, D.C. in 1870. You can look at photos of Fish and immediately jump to thinking "this guy is a creepy weirdo" and that train of thought would be correct. Fish was a child rapist and murderer, killing at least three children. If that wasn't enough, he was also a cannibal. He was into sexual mutilation and all sorts of other things that support the creepy weirdo theory. This book is pretty descriptive about his crimes, so if child crimes bother you, skip it.
I really enjoy books by this author, so I was looking forward to reading this one. As is the standard for this author, it was properly researched and well-written. Despite being familiar with Albert Fish and his crimes through various other books, television, and podcasts, I was engaged throughout. If you are interested in The Last Podcast on the Left, this book is on that reading list.
