Synopsis
In the heart of Indianapolis in the mid 1960's, through a twist of fate and fortune, a pretty young girl came to live with a thirty-seven-year-old mother and her seven children. What began as a temporary childcare arrangement between Sylvia Likens's parents and Gertrude Baniszewski turned into a crime that would haunt cops, prosecutors, and a community for decades to come... When police found Sylvia's emaciated body, with a chilling message carved into her flesh, they knew that she had suffered tremendously before her death. Soon they would learn how many others--including some of Baniszewski's own children--participated in Sylvia's murder, and just how much torture had been inflicted in one HOUSE OF EVIL, What began as a temporary childcare arrangement in 1965 turned into a crime that would haunt Indianapolis for decades to come. The case is the basis of the 2007 film "An American Crime, " starring Academy Award nominees Ellen Page ("Juno") and Christine Keener ("Capote"). photos. Original.

    • Fantastic Book!!!!

      This is a story that should not be forgotten. This is a story of great horrors, but it also has many good lessons that need to be remembered.

    • House of horrors

      I've read this book before. All I can say is such a sad story.The girls parents should have received prison time as well for leaving their 2 daughters with a person as such.
