Lizzie Borden took an axe...
We all know the rhyme. But behind the sing-song verse lies a mystery that has haunted true crime popular culture for over a century.
In 1892, the brutal axe murders of Andrew and Abby Borden shocked the nation. Their daughter, Lizzie, stood trial in a case that gripped the public like none before it—an early true crime spectacle that still echoes through popular culture today. Was she an abused daughter pushed to the brink, a cold-blooded killer, or something even stranger?
The Lizzie Borden House Anthology is a chilling and provocative collection inspired by the most infamous unsolved murder in American history. Working in conjunction with the real-life Lizzie Borden House—now a Bed and Breakfast museum and paranormal hotspot—this licensed anthology explores the unanswered questions, shifting myths, and dark possibilities surrounding the case.
From feminist reimaginings to supernatural reckonings, from psychological horror to gothic suspense, these tales examine not just what happened that day in Fall River, but how the story of Lizzie Borden has taken on a life'''and afterlife—of its own.
Perfect for fans of Shirley Jackson, True Crime, and American Horror Story, this collection blurs the line between history and horror, fact and folklore.
Because some stories refuse to die—and some houses never forget
