Pretty gross, although i was intriged about Elizabeth Bathory to see what really happened, i stop reading the book half-way through it. Very graphic. sick and twisted. do not read if you cant handle blood and guts and touture

I initially heard about this book on NPR; the author, a regular contributor himself, was being interviewed. This is most definitely NOT my usual fare, however, the writing is great and apparently well-researched. Not for the squeamish, to put it mildly.

Wow, I'd put this in the "car crash" category...It's terrible & awful gory stuff, but you can't turn away from it. I finished it in 3 days. Not for the squeamish!

It's an okay book. It's not the best I've ever read, but it's okay. The subject is gruesome.

I thought it was terrible and buried in details.
