Albert Fish’s Letter
Albert Fish was a child molester, torturer (he had a set of what he referred to as “implements of Hell,” including a meat cleaver), serial killer, shit fetishist, cannibal, and self-mutilator. But he had one more nasty trait that elevated him from mere monster to something even worse: his urge to gloat. Witness the obscene anonymous letter he penned to the mother of his last known victim, 10-year-old Grace Budd.
It’s addressed to “My Dear Mrs. Budd” and that’s the only polite thing about it. Here’s the worst, most gruesome part (and you seriously may want to skip reading it):
On Sunday June the 3 — 1928 I called on you at 406 W 15 St. Brought you pot cheese — strawberries. We had lunch. Grace sat in my lap and kissed me. I made up my mind to eat her. On the pretense of taking her to a party. You said Yes she could go. I took her to an empty house in Westchester I had already picked out. When we got there, I told her to remain outside. She picked wildflowers. I went upstairs and stripped all my clothes off. I knew if I did not I would get her blood on them. When all was ready I went to the window and called her. Then I hid in the closet until she was in the room. When she saw me all naked she began to cry and tried to run down stairs. I grabbed her and she said she would tell her mamma. First I stripped her naked. How did she kick — bite and scratch. I choked her to death, then cut her in small pieces so I could take the meat to my rooms. Cook and eat it. How sweet and tender her little ass was roasted in the oven. It took me 9 days to eat her entire body. I did NOT fuck her tho I could have had I wished. She died a VIRGIN.”
Shudder. Police were able to trace the letterhead used by Fish to send this toxic missive, leading to his arrest. He confessed, and in 1936 he was executed in “Old Sparky” at New York’s Sing Sing prison.
