Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Steve White’s performance in 'The Monster Within' is nothing short of stellar. His tone shifts seamlessly from detached reporting to visceral tension, capturing the horror and brutality with a chilling authenticity. The pacing is impeccable, maintaining a relentless build-up that never lets up. However, some listeners might find the clinical detail overwhelming; Kürten's sexual deviancy is recounted in graphic, albeit necessary, detail. Despite this, Green’s meticulous research provides an invaluable insight into the psychology of a monster. This audiobook demands attention and won’t be for everyone, but it’s an essential listen for those who want to delve deep into one of history’s most chilling true crime stories.
