- TriviaErik Larson's 2010 book The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America is about the serial killer H.H. Holmes and his connection to the building of the White city at the 1893 Worlds Fair in Chicago.
- GoofsJeff Mudgett's theory that H.H. Holmes could have been Jack the Ripper has a flaw in it. The Castle was being built at the time Jack the Ripper was active. Eyewitness testimony during Holmes trial put him on the job site almost every day both to supervise and keep workers from figuring out some of his secrets. Therefore he could not have been in England at the time.

Featured review
Like clearing up after a hurricane, where do you start? An appalling load of rubbish from start to finish. Here are a few facts. 1. Nobody ever saw the killer - so there are no eyewitness statements as to his appearance. 2. For anyone who thinks he has surgical skill, take a look at the Eddowes photographs, I could have done a neater job with a blunt chainsaw. 3. Not one single letter has ever been proved to have come from the killer, the one that a lot of experts say might have wasn't even mentioned. 4. There are no clues left by the killer, except possibly the Goulston Street graffito. 5. There is absolutely nothing to point to the nationality of the killer. The one American suspect Dr Tumblety was arrested for homosexual acts in a public toilet with men, not for being a suspect. 6. The killer knew the streets of the East End and knew the people, he was one of them, he wasn't a mastermind - just lucky.
