About this ebook
THE ALLIGATOR MAN
He was the inspiration behind a horror film named "Eaten Alive"...Joe Ball was long thought to have been an apocryphal figure in Texas. A strange tale told by children to scare themselves. But he did exist and the true accounts of his sadistic nature go beyond any of the fictionalized versions told by the campfire. The grandson of a sadistic slave trader, Joe Ball was a serial killer who may have murdered as many as twenty women...feeding them to his pit of alligators in order to remove the evidence...hence his name..."The Alligator Man".
