Editorial Reviews

Review

"Master storyteller Casey Sherman takes us back in time to the 1960s and into the dark mind of a charismatic serial killer. Set against the idyllic backdrop of Cape Cod, Helltown is a riveting, often spine-tingling true crime story." ― Terence Winter, Executive Producer of The Sopranos, creator of Boardwalk Empire

"With
Helltown, Casey Sherman delivers the kind of true crime that keeps eyes glued to the pages―smart, impeccably researched, and utterly absorbing. Destined to be on all the year-end best nonfiction lists, this is an unqualified triumph by a writer at the top of his game!" ― Gregg Olsen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If You Tell

"Readers will not soon forget Sherman’s gripping and elucidating web of true crime and literary history tracing the personal, communal, political, and artistic repercussions of gruesome killings during a time of indelible ferment." ― Booklist STARRED Review

"
Helltown is an immersive and captivating journey into the mind of a serial killer...should satisfy most true crime aficionados." ― Associated Press

"
Helltown will render even the calmest reader unsettled when the book has been concluded. Author Casey Sherman continues his excellent work in the true crime realm with his latest effort. The narrative relayed by Sherman is engrossing and never wavers in its intensity. " ― Seattle Book Review

𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧: 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑈𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐾𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑛 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑑𝐁𝐲: 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐲 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5This book is true crime meets narrative story telling with some sprinkling of fiction and a dash of imagination. It’s hard to believe that this is actually a true crime story. I think that it helps that the author took some liberties with dialogue and interactions, but at the end of the day, this is a terrifying true story. If you’re a true crime aficionado, you’ll need to add this book to your TBR.In reading other reviews, it seems like readers didn’t like the tangents into Vonnegut, Mailer, Manson and Chappaquiddick. I’ll go to the minority here because I thought it was great and added another layer to the story telling. While the author may have taken some liberties. I would encourage you to make sure you read the last chapter of the book where Sherman ties everything together.
