ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“The Devil in the White City” by Erik Larson intertwines two captivating stories set during the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. One follows Daniel Burnham, the visionary architect behind the fair, as he strives to create a monumental symbol of progress. The other tracks H. H. Holmes, a charming but sinister serial killer using the fair as a cover for his gruesome crimes. The book explores themes of ambition, innovation, and the darkness that can lie beneath the pursuit of greatness. Larson expertly combines history, suspense, and human nature in this compelling narrative.
