SHORT LISTED FOR THE MARGARET McWILLIAMS AWARD FOR BEST BOOK IN POPULAR HISTORY FOR 2022 BY THE MANITOBA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

​"The most complete account of the Gorilla Man Strangler I have read. Flawlessly researched, and expertly told, this book is an exceptional work of historical storytelling."​
-- John Burchill, President, Winnipeg Police Museum

​‘The Gorilla Man Strangler Case is one of the most well researched and richly detailed true crime books we have had the pleasure of reading. Alvin Esau tells the grisly tale of the Gorilla Man Strangler, while highlighting the victims and their stories. Beautifully written- it is the perfect blend of true crime and historic context.’ -Killer Spirits Podcast
 
The book was “a page turner” for me. An Impressive amount of research into the characters, as well as the law, politics, and history surrounding the case, and the various issues such as psychopathy and insanity. Looking forward to reading your next book. -Dr. Wallace Eggert
