American Dread: The Hatchet House

How well do you really know your neighbor? In Decatur, Illinois, 1964, evil didn’t break in—it lived inside the house. On a cold February night, a family argument ended with a hatchet, a triple killing, and a manhunt that stretched from Illinois to Florida. This is The Hatchet House —a story of blood, silence, and a terrifying truth: sometimes the monster isn’t out there… …it’s already home.
