About this listen
He looked like a harmless old man.
He knocked on the Budd family’s door with a smile and a promise.
And he walked away with their ten-year-old daughter—never to return her.
The Cannibal of Wisteria is the chilling true story of Albert Fish, one of the most disturbing serial killers in American history. Behind his soft-spoken demeanor and grandfatherly appearance hid a predator driven by religious delusions, sadistic desires, and a hunger that defies comprehension.
From his brutal childhood in an orphanage to his grotesque confessions of cannibalism, child murder, and self-mutilation, this book dives deep into Fish’s psyche, his crimes, and the trial that shocked the nation. Using firsthand quotes, psychiatric analysis, trial testimony, and haunting letters—including the infamous Grace Budd letter—this book reveals the full scope of his depravity.
You’ll learn:
How trauma, religious obsession, and unchecked mental illness shaped a killer
The twisted theology Fish used to justify murder and cannibalism
Details of the police investigation and the letter that finally unmasked him
Why experts still debate whether Fish was insane—or purely evil
How his case influenced the way America thinks about serial killers and “stranger danger”
