When a Dream City Met a Living Nightmare
In 1893, Chicago built the most magnificent temporary city the world had ever seen-632 acres of gleaming white palaces rising from swampland, visited by 27 million people in six months. Just three miles away, a charming doctor was murdering young women in a building he'd designed as a killing machine. This isn't fiction. Both stories unfolded simultaneously, representing the brightest and darkest possibilities of America's leap into modernity. The World's Columbian Exposition proved a rough frontier city could create transcendent beauty. H.H. Holmes proved that same anonymity and opportunity could cloak unimaginable evil. One man built a city to inspire humanity's highest aspirations. Another built a hotel to satisfy his darkest compulsions. Their parallel stories reveal an uncomfortable truth: progress and predation often walk hand in hand.
