In the late 1800s the Chicago World’s Fair was well on its way to becoming a modern marvel of the time, little did the fairgoers know that both good and a great evil lurked among them. The Devil in the White City is a historical nonfiction book written by Erik Larson, within it there lies two stories of two very different men. The tale of good follows the life of a young architect whose goal is to make an impact on the world. How will he accomplish this? By making the, “legendary 1893 World’s Fair”.
The World fair was the engineering project of its time. It brought plenty of excitement and attention to itself, but it also brought crime. The problem is, even though everything seems fine with the fair, there were bad things still happening. Stealing, cheating, and in extreme cases even murder. Chicago was in charge of building the World’s fair, but ended up hosting a murderer in its walls.

This book was actually based off of Chicago’s World Fair, as well as what happened and put his own twist on it story. The author has several purposes within this book, which is a narrative non-fiction (a history with a strong story).
I picked The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson as my one book to read this summer because the serial killer aspect of the novel really appealed to me as compelling and interesting. Larson tells two different stories in the novel that are tied together by happening in the same city of Chicago in the 1890s. It tells of Daniel Burnham and his determination to create something good and H. H. Holmes, a serial killer who practices great evil. This book has a meaningful impact on how I view life as it divulges the difference between good and evil. I have always thought I was a good person or at least I try to be.

The Devil In The White City is a great book. Erik Larson has produced one of the best-written books ever. The way he weaves two highly intricate plots together in one book is astounding. This is the story of two men who never met, but each played large parts in the history of the United States. Daniel Burnham and his partner, John Root, are chosen as the lead designers of the 1893 Columbian Exposition, or the Chicago World 's Fair.

Demon Babies The carryover from goat-devil worship to ancient rituals and dealings with demons parallel one another. Certain demons became known for a variety of illnesses, such as the demon Pazuzu, profoundly associated with bringing infections of malaria to areas. In addition, this demon transpires as being linked to malformed persons described as goat or demon monster babies; who are mentioned also by Plato and Aristotle. They discussed such a phenomenon as humans producing children that resemble animals called terata, resembling beast instead of their parents. Moreover, the ancient Talmud mentions unnatural malformed babies or grotesque beings that came from demons.
