Description: In the 1920s, Birmingham was known as “The Magic City.”Steel, smoke, opportunity—and something much darker.It began in a small corner store.Then another.And another.Grocers were attacked in the dead of night. Families were slaughtered in their beds.The weapon was simple. Primitive. Personal.An axe.For four years, fear ruled the streets. Doors were barricaded. Neighborhoods formed militias. The police were desperate enough to consult Ouija boards… and corrupt enough to let the Ku Klux Klan lead the investigation.Newspapers blamed a shadowy killer they called “Henry the Hacker.”But the truth was far more terrifying.This wasn’t the story of one monster.It was the story of a city full of them. LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHwww.hauntedamericanhistory.comBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!
