Acclaimed crime historian, podcaster, and author of American Sherlock Kate Winkler Dawson tells the thrilling story of Edward Rulloff--a serial murderer who was called "too intelligent to be killed"--and the array of 19th century investigators who were convinced his brain held the key to finally understanding the criminal mind.

Edward Rulloff was a brilliant yet utterly amoral murderer--some have called him a "Victorian-era Hannibal Lecter"--whose crimes spanned decades and whose victims were chosen out of revenge, out of envy, and sometimes out of necessity. From his humble beginnings in upstate New York to the dazzling salons and social life he established in New York City, at every turn Rulloff used his intelligence and regal bearing to evade detection and avoid punishment. He could talk his way out of any crime...until one day, Rulloff's luck ran out.

By 1871 Rulloff sat chained in his cell--a psychopath holding court while curious 19th-century "mindhunters" tried to understand what made him tick. From alienists (early psychiatrists who tried to analyze the source of his madness) to neurologists (who wanted to dissect his brain) to phrenologists (who analyzed the bumps on his head to determine his character), each one thought he held the key to understanding the essential question: is evil born or made? Eventually, Rulloff's brain would be placed in a jar at Cornell University as the prize specimen of their anatomy collection...where it still sits today, slowly moldering in a dusty jar. But his story--and its implications for the emerging field of criminal psychology--were just beginning.

Expanded from season one of her hit podcast on the Exactly Right network (7 million downloads and growing), in All That Is Wicked Kate Winkler Dawson draws on hundreds of source materials and never-before-shared historical documents to present one of the first glimpses into the mind of a serial killer--a century before the term was coined--through the scientists whose work would come to influence criminal justice for decades to come.

STA-BIL Start Your Engines! Because Sometimes Engines Need a Pep Talk
Size: 2 fl oz
So, STA-BIL Start Your Engines! is basically that friend who shows up uninvited but actually saves the day. You know, the one who doesn’t ask questions and just gets your engine running when it’s feeling moody or sluggish. Does it work? Of course it does. Like, “put a little in your gas tank, say a quick prayer, and voila!” kind of work. Suddenly your car remembers how to start, and you feel like a mechanic genius without actually lifting a wrench. It’s simple, it’s reliable, and it doesn’t judge you for letting your gas sit around until it gets that “I don’t want to cooperate” attitude. Pros: Makes your engine start like it just had an espresso shot. Easy to use — even if you’re barely awake in the morning. No weird smells or smoke signals, just clean, smooth starting. Cons: Won’t fix your “I forgot to put gas in” problem. Sadly, can’t make your car drive itself to work (yet). You might start relying on it a little too much — hey, no judgment. Final Verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 5 stars. If your engine is feeling lazy, this stuff just works. It’s like a pep talk in a bottle for your car. Highly recommended for anyone who’s ever cursed their ignition.

Cleans Out Working Carburetors
Size: 2 fl oz
I recommend this product for engines that will in fact start but not run well. I highly recommend it for that specific purpose, which it is designed for. It cleans the inner workings of the carburetor. Of course, you will have a cleaner carburetor if you take it apart and clean it with proper tools and a proper carburetor cleaner. You spray it in the gas tank, start the engine, and let it run a bit. It will not start an engine with a totally plugged up carburetor. Nothing is going to do that. Nor is it a fuel stabilizer, as one previous reviewer seemed to think. Nor is it a product to be used to bring life back to stale gasoline, as another reviewer seemed to think. The only thing to do with stale gasoline is drain it out and pitch it. Nor is it a product to be used for cleaning a carburetor you have taken apart to clean. You should use a proper carburetor cleaner for that purpose. I've given it four stars because it cleans out mildly plugged up carbs. It is not a miracle solution for really neglected carbs as the name suggests.
