The Monster Who Spoke Softly: Inside the Chilling Confessions of Edmund Kemper. Content Warning.
In the annals of American crime, few names echo with the quiet dread of Edmund Emil Kemper. Standing at 6 feet 9 inches tall and known for his polite demeanor, he seemed, at first glance, more like a gentle giant than a monster. But beneath that calm exterior lay a mind capable of horrors so calculated and grotesque they continue to haunt the criminal psychology world. Kemper didn’t just kill—he analyzed, narrated, and deconstructed his actions with the eerie precision of a man who seemed almost proud of his ability to articulate evil.

The Junko Furuta Case: Japan’s Most Disturbing Tragedy of Torture and Injustice. Top Story - May 2025. Content Warning.
On 25th November 1988 in Japan, 17-year-old Junko Furuta was kidnapped. She was brutally gang-raped and tortured for 40 days and then murdered on 4th January 1989. The monsters who did this were Hiroshi Miyano, Shinji Minato, Jo Ogura, and Yasushi Watanabe, who were all aged between 16 and 18 years old. Hiroshi and Shinji, despite being teenagers, were already serial rapists. On 25th November 1988, they were out looking for a victim and spotted Junko who was returning home from her part-time job. All of them went to the same high school. Previously, Hiroshi had confessed his feelings to Junko and she had rejected him politely. That night, he decided that their victim would be Junko as a way to take revenge for rejecting him. Hiroshi told Shinji to run away after kicking her off her bicycle and then he would swoop in to help her. Shinji did as he was told. As planned, Hiroshi then went up to her and helped her to her feet. He offered to walk her home and she accepted, not knowing what she was getting herself into. She got off her bicycle, and they started walking and talking. After some time, Hiroshi stopped following her directions and tried to take her into an abandoned warehouse that allegedly had ties with the Yakuza.

Shattered Reflection
The mirror arrived in a wooden crate with no sender listed. Anna Morales didn't remember ordering it. But the antique glass had an allure—tall, ornate, wrapped in ivy-like carvings and tinged with an almost silver-blue sheen.

The Witness Window
The scream woke Mia Rivers at 2:13 a.m. Sharp. Muffled. Cut short. She sat up in bed, heart hammering, and stared out the window of her sixth-floor apartment. The building across the street, quiet as always. Nothing unusual.

Room 616
I never believed in curses. Not until I investigated the murder at the Halberd Inn. Room 616 had been closed for almost 30 years. No one went in. No staff cleaned it. The hotel claimed the room didn’t exist. But I knew it did—because someone just died inside it.
