New on our events calendar - Sam Baltrusis joins us for a meet-and-greet and book signing Saturday November 14 for his new book, Lizzie Borden & the Family Curse.
The story of Lizzie Borden does not end in Fall River. Far beyond the locked doors of the Borden household, there is a wider web of people, places, and histories connected to the case. From the investigators who shaped the trial and the reporters who sensationalized it to the key locations that marked Lizzie Borden’s life and lingering legacy, there is a multifaceted history behind one of America's most enduring true crime stories. By weaving these parallel tales of crime, gender, and societal upheaval into the central narrative, Baltrusis takes a deep dive into the ultimate whodunit, placing Lizzie’s story within a broader historical context of rumors, power, and the shifting expectations of women in American society.
Sam Baltrusis, author of Ghosts of Salem and featured in The Curse of Lizzie Borden shock doc, has penned more than a dozen paranormal-themed books including Mass Murders and Ghosts of Sleepy Hollow: Haunts of the Headless Horseman. He has been featured on several national TV shows including the Travel Channel’s A Haunting, Most Terrifying Places, Haunted Towns, Fright Club 1 & 2 & documentaries like The House in Between 2 and History’s Most Haunted.
