The book "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson intertwines two narratives surrounding the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. One story follows the architectural achievements and innovations that defined the fair, while the other details the chilling actions of H.H. Holmes, a notorious serial killer who operated during this period. The juxtaposition of beauty and horror captures the essence of this pivotal moment in American history.
