Product Description
Sheila LaBarre liked to troll the personal ads and homeless shelters, looking for men whom society had rejected for one reason or another - men she could easily dominate both verbally and sexually. One by one, she invited them to her remote New Hampshire farmhouse, where she engaged them in S&M. But over time, sex gave way to brutal acts of torture as she mercilessly flogged and beat her captives until they confessed to committing unspeakable acts. Once satisfied that they had paid for their sins, Sheila savagely slaughtered them and burned their remains on her farm...From the disturbing audiotapes Sheila made of her victims' confessions to her own bizarre statements in which she claimed to have returned from the dead to be God's avenger. "The Burn Farm" takes you behind the scenes of the scandal that rocked a quiet New England town, and into the twisted, depraved mind of a manipulative, cold-blooded murderer.

Can't Wait For the Movie!, Sep 12 2009
By Lisa M. Grasso - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Burn Farm (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a movie-worthy horror story about Sheila LaBarre, a very mean woman who lives alone in a house in the middle of New Hampshire nowhere. She recruits men into her home, using sex as bait, and then abuses them, slowly, agonizingly, until they are dead. The opening scene is so scary I think it will stick with me forever. If you think you've heard it all, read this story. The weirdest part is all of it is true.Book says the story is a sort of updated Hansel & Gretel, which is pretty accurate, except there's no Gretel. Just a series of Hansels. and one very wicked witch.

Insane or Just Incredibly Mean?, Sep 23 2009
By Kim Cantrell "Soap Box Bandit" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Burn Farm (Mass Market Paperback)
The Burn Farm is an excellent case study on the argument of what actions define a defendant as insane and whether the Constitutional burden changes with a plea of mental defect.Sheila LaBarre was molested as a young child by her father and line of men who she addressed as "Uncles."
Did would this abuse as a child create the woman who would seduce vunerable young men to her isolated New Hampshire farm where she beat them, killed them, and then incernerated their bodies?
LaBarre's history as outlined in The Burn Farm by Michael Benson is interesting, yet the chapters wherein her sanity was called into question was what most captured my attention.
Was Sheila LaBarre insane or just a fatally vicious person? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
The New Hampshire jury has rendered it's verdict on Sheila's sanity. As for me, my mental jury is still out.

Another terrific book by Michael Benson. To me it is the true crime stories that are the most chilling and this book is one of the scariest books I have read in a long time. I highly recommend this book.
Listmania!
