About this listen

It is plausible that Donald Henry Gaskins was born a psychopath; it may also be said that his life experiences helped turn him into a sociopath. The Meanest Man in America earned the title of the most prolific serial killer in South Carolina’s history. Although it was never confirmed, Gaskins claimed to have murdered more than 100 people, with some reports as high as 181.

He tortured, killed, and occasionally ate his victims until his final arrest in 1975. Gaskins was ultimately executed, not for his many, many murders outside prison, but for killing a prisoner on death row while Gaskins himself was serving consecutive life sentences.

Was expecting a more in depth look into the life of Gaskins, but I felt each chapter was short and just skimmed over the basics. Narration was okay

Not as good as expected
