Monster

She was accused of one of America's most notorious crimes. A jury set her free. More than a century later, the world is still arguing about what happened inside 92 Second Street.

On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were found murdered in their Fall River home. Suspicion soon settled on Andrew's daughter, Lizzie Borden, whose conflicting statements, family tensions, and strange circumstances surrounding that morning would become the foundation of an enduring true-crime mystery.

But the case was never as simple as the legend suggests.

MONSTER: The Lizzie Borden Story goes beyond the famous rhyme to uncover the woman behind the accusation. Follow Lizzie from her complicated family life and the events of that fatal summer through the investigation, sensational trial, shocking acquittal, and the decades she spent trying to live beyond the shadow of the case.

The book also explores how newspapers, books, film, television, and Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story have continued to reshape her image, blurring the boundary between documented history and dramatic invention.

Was Lizzie a killer who escaped conviction, an innocent woman condemned by public opinion, or something history has never fully understood?

Enter 92 Second Street, examine the evidence, and decide for yourself.
