Serial killer Gary Heidnik's name will live on in infamy, and his home, 3520 North Marshall Street in Philadelphia, is a house tainted with the memory of unbelievable horrors. What police found there was an incredible nightmare made real. Four young women had been held captive - some for four months - half-naked and chained. They had been tortured, starved, and repeatedly raped. But more grotesque discoveries lay in the kitchen: human limbs frozen, a torso burned to cinders, an empty pot suspiciously scorched....

This is not a story for the faint-hearted. Cellar of Horror is a shocking true account of the self-proclaimed minister with a long history of mental illness, who preyed upon the susceptible in a bizarre plan to create his own "baby factory." It is a macabre web spun around money, power, and religion, tangled with courtroom drama and lawyers' tactics, sure to send a chill into your very soul.

This a book for the ones that are info real crime stories and can handle gruesome details. Very well narrated, I enjoyed hearing voice of the narrator and I thought it was appropriate for the book, not sure why other reviewers thought he was boring. The only thing I have to say is that the book spends an extense amount of chapters on the court process and sentence of the killer that may be hard to follow through and don't lose interest.

A very disturbing and interesting book.

Just when you think you have heard or seen it all you find out you haven't. The man is off the wall, I do have to say I don't think he meant to kill those women but I don't think he cared or has any bad feelings about them dying. I sure bet the cop that didn't do much checking out the missing lady sure doesn't feel so good. I thought the author did a good job giving the facts and telling it like it is. I thought the story was interesting, I even chuckled a few times. The is not funny in any way but some of the things said or done by others was funny. I feel for the women and their families it is a sad story and I do believe he got what he deserved. Was he legally crazy, I don't know, there was something wrong with him but I am not sure he was crazy. Evil? The things he did were no doubt evil but he thought he would get control and the women would bend to his will. Lets just say I wouldn't want to be near him or be one of his women. I do have to wonder what happen to all the money, it doesn't say anywhere who got it, just that there was fights over it.

I thought the narrator did a great job, With the emotions in his voice he did make me laugh a few times. I thought I would die laughing over what seasoning was used. I don't remember any character voices, but he did put emotions into the read. There were no repeating of words, no volume changes, and no background noise, it was a very clear audio. I do look forward to listening to more of this narrators work.

As for where or not Gary is crazy, evil, etc I leave that up to you. I know he blow my mind a few times, there were even a few times I was almost ill.

The Author does a great job of giving just enough detail to be informed but not so much it bores you. The story moves well and is very good from start to finish. Narration is good, not great but def not bad.

Surprisingly impressive book

Hilarious how they tried to blame the black cop. Women could’ve been saved years before then

The storyline was okay; however, this book could have been shortened due to constant repetition in multiple chapters.

The narrator was awful, the worst I’ve ever listened to. I will never listen to another book narrated by Eric Jason Martin.

Narration was painful
