Imagine being invited in for tea and cakes… only to later learn you were fed human remains.

From suicide attempts to claiming her mother cursed her, to miscarriages and losing ten of her fourteen children, Leonarda’s life wasn’t easy. Protecting her four surviving children became something of an obsession for the woman. Perhaps tragedy loosened her grip on reality, or maybe the fear of losing her oldest to war caused a mental break.

Whatever the cause, Leonarda’s chilling deeds will raise the hair on the back of your neck and leave you wondering if those around you are capable of the same evil.

Follow along her twisted journey that’ll make you question how much one person can take before they do the unthinkable… or if her tragedies were simply an excuse for murder, desecration, and turning remains into cakes and soap. Read and judge for yourself in this true account of Leonarda Cianciulli, the superstitious mother who turned victims into soaps and cakes.

Gertrude Wright, The Torture Mother—a tale of true crime that’ll make your blood curdle and your stomach twist.

If you’ve never heard of this woman, then are you even a true crime fan? Yes, you are, because you’re here and interested! Gertrude Wright’s descent into madness involved torture, mutilation in an unexpected way, and gruesome treatment of Sylvia Likens, a teenaged girl under her care.

This story isn’t for the faint of heart—instead, it’s a case of the worst of humanity and the evils one woman can inflict on a child who sees her as a mother figure.

Dubbed “The single worst crime perpetuated against an individual in Indiana's history" this story will stick with you long after you’ve read the final page. Dive right in… if you dare.
