À propos de cet audio

At a remote little inn not far from the Kansas homestead of Laura Ingalls Wilder lived the Bender family. These pioneers welcomed unwary visitors with jackrabbit stew and a sledgehammer to the skull.

In time, their apple orchard gave up its secrets - a burial ground for their mutilated victims, each stripped of their possessions. The devilish enterprise on “Hell’s Half-Acre” would earn the Bloody Benders an undying place in the annals of American infamy. But it was the mysterious fate of eldest daughter, Kate, that would make them the stuff of mythic campfire prairie tales.

Little Slaughterhouse on the Prairie is part of Bloodlands, a chilling collection of short addictive historical narratives from bestselling true-crime master Harold Schechter. Spanning a century in our nation’s murderous past, Schechter resurrects nearly forgotten tales of madmen and thrill-killers that dominated the most sensational headlines of their day.

A great alternative to a podcast. Good true crime story and well narrated. Worth a listen.

I could easily picture myself sitting in a lawnchair, cradling a cup of hot chocolate and listening to someone with a flashlight under their chin while listening to this short little narrative.
Harold Schechter is an unapologetic sensationalist. His True Crime exposés aren't exhaustively researched, puntiliously documentary, or particularly insightful. Do not download this tale looking for edification regarding the infamous Bender family in 1880s LaBête Kansas. What you will get instead is a brilliantly entertaining bare-bones description of the shocking/macabre/chilling murders that immediately brings to mind the bizarre cannibalistic family in 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'.

Steven Weber's outstanding narration contributes to the feeling of an Almost-Ghost-Story. His diction, timbre, cadence, and reading rate are exemplary - but Weber's serious & emotive tone fits the horrifying text *perfectly*. Well done, Brilliance Audio.

Do not hesitate to download this 9/10 star recording if you're looking for what amounts to a short True Crime anecdote. I got it for free (as part of the 'Plus' catalogue) - and it's too short to merit a Credit - but I would pay money for it.

An Enjoyable 'Campfire'-styled Chronicle
