Hell's Half-Acre : The Untold Story of the Benders, a Serial Killer family on the American frontier by Susan JonusasIn 1873, the people of Labette County in Kansas discovered a cellar containing countless bodies in varying states of decay on a homestead seven miles south of the town of Cherryvale. The discovery sent the local community and national newspapers into a frenzy that continued for over two decades, and the land on which the crimes took place became known as 'Hell's Half-Acre.' When it emerged that a family of four known as the Benders had been accused of the slayings, the case was catapulted to infamy. Part gothic western, part literary whodunnit, and part immersive study of postbellum America, Hell's Half-Acre sheds new light on one of the most notorious cases in our nation's history while holding a torch to a society under the strain of rapid change and moral disarray.
