Are there any non-fiction books available on the Villisca axe murders?
The is one called Villisca: The True Account of the Unsolved Mass Murder that Stunned the Nation. It’s available in our Emporium. We are co-writing a book with Dr. Epperly that we hope to have available by the time film is braodcast. It will take a “popular history” approach focusing on the crime, investigation, and trials. Morning Ran Red, a fictional book based on the axe murders written by Stephen Bowman, was published in 1986. If you are familiar enough with the story you may recognize some of the characters even though their names have been changed.
