Description
House of Horrors exposes the perverse world of Anthony Sowell, a sexual sadist who murdered 11 women on Cleveland's East Side. To his neighbors, Sowell was a quiet and helpful former Marine who played chess and hosted summer barbeques in his front yard. But there was a dark side to Sowell - and a horrific secret inside his house. From 2007-2009, Sowell lured homeless and drug-addicted women to his home. He raped, tortured and strangled them -- and then lived amongst their corpses. Numerous other women were attacked, but escaped death. Sowell's gruesome killing spree shocked the nation and revealed the tragic plight of his victims. Cleveland journalist Robert Sberna brings readers into the mind of the killer through the firsthand accounts of his survivors -- and also through several interviews with Sowell. Sowell's murderous frenzy ended on Oct. 29, 2009 when a SWAT team entered his house to arrest him on a sex charge. They discovered the nightmare within, leading the nation to ask "why did this happen?"
