Produktbeschreibung
On August 8th, 1973, a young man called the Pasadena Police Department and reported he had shot and killed a man, who had attacked him and his two friends. The story would eventually unravel the mystery of numerous missing boys in the Houston and Pasadena area who were subjected to the terror of the gunned-down man. It would be his evil that detectives would first coin the term Serial Killer as an ominous search exposed the torture and horrific murders of nearly thirty boys. This tragedy brought national attention igniting interest in Truman Capote himself who showed up to capture the 'Story of the Year' or his next best seller. This, however, is not his story. Grains of truth are blended in this fictional tale of The Pied Pipers Prince that encompasses the infamous crimes of Dean Arnold Corll and his chosen entourage of demon-teenage accomplices, David Owen Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley as well as other nuggets from stories of the time. Houston referred to this evil as The Candy Man or The Pied Piper as he used candy made from his family's candy shop to lure in unsuspected victims until he enlisted two of those victims to invite their friends over with a promise of booze and pot not knowing that they would become the ultimate party favor. The Pied Piper's Prince is a fictional tale and a twisted one. Admittedly the truth of the story is quite disturbing, especially for the mothers and fathers who stayed up long nights waiting to hear from their children only to later find out that they were buried in an old boat shed or reservoir. Sheriffs worked endless hours to excavate the areas that the accomplices led them to where shreds of hope were washed away by tears as each boy or in some cases a portion of a boy was recovered thanks to the diligence of the Harris County Team. Although this book instills a bit of madness, the grief one feels from losing a loved one in such a horrid way is not to be disrespected. It has been nearly fifty years since that phone call, and with many of the family members having moved on or passed away, it remains a stain on Texas History that has been covered up with live music and Barbecue. Sadly, there are no markers of remembrance or talk in Pasadena or surrounding areas of what would become known as the Houston Mass Murders, but occasionally a show of the Lost Boys will pop up. Usually, every time the house on Lamar Street is listed for sale raising morbid curiosities of wanting to be near a place where so many murders took place or a parent of one of these children passes away hoping that their long lost son will meet them at Heaven's Gate. Thanks to the compassion of the city of Pasadena, the house was torn down in 2023. As you weave through the twisted tale of paranormal horror and demonic vengeance, take a breath away from the fiction within these pages and love those around you. Pray for those who have had their children's lives stolen from them by the real evil of the world, and if you have had a life touched in such a horrible way, the author's prayers are with you and your family.

Autorenporträt
Gina Lynelle Schaefer was born in Lafayette Louisiana in 1970 where she spent the first five years of life dancing to Cajun music and eating beignets. Although she does not have many memories of the swamp, dreams of the amazing cemeteries sprouted throughout the cities mesmerize her mind and igniting a flourishing imagination. To this day she enjoys reminiscing about field trips visiting the historic cemeteries that pepper the landscape where they decorated the graves with flowers and coins in remembrance of the dead. At the age of six, she picked up her Texas twang when she moved to Spring, Texas, a small suburb outside of Houston where she spent most of her childhood except for a brief stint in London. This is when her eyes opened to a much larger world outside of southern hospitality and a love for all things Victorian grew. Although these places seem very different in geography, one thing they all had in common was ghosts. Paranormal activity was a bigger part of her life than Barbie Dolls and Easy Bake Ovens. When making vacation plans, she scopes out haunted sites with an interesting back story. When contacted regarding all thing's ghosts, she is there to help with paranormal consultation and investigations and assurance that not all things are evil and when there is, it can be fought with good. Many of her experiences are documented on her social media accounts.After meeting and marrying an amazing man, she sought out a degree in Psychology, gave birth to her wonderful son Joseph and became a teacher. Now she focuses on her passion of writing paranormal thrillers and investigating haunted sites.
