As she notes on her blog, Deborah Blum?s latest piece of nonfiction writing is one to be read with the lights on. Blum, a UW-Madison professor of journalism and author of ?The Poisoner?s Handbook,? tells the true-crime story of Albert Fish, by all appearances a harmless old man who harbored a history of kidnapping, killing, and sometimes eating children. His is the story of a deranged serial killer-cannibal who took directions from the voices of angels who came to visit him, a man who felt that each victim he claimed was a sacrifice to God to atone for his sins.
