Summary
In 1850, following a divorce and a number of encounters with the law, Boone Helm headed "Out West" to chase the Californian Gold Rush with his cousin. When his cousin pulled out at the last minute, Helm was incensed, and brutally stabbed him to death. Helm was detained in an asylum for the mentally disturbed but managed to escape.
Helm continued his journey west with renewed vigour, where he opportunistically killed and consumed the flesh of adversaries and travelling companions, earning him the nickname "The Kentucky Cannibal". After several brutal months in the wilderness, he finally made it California. At a time where violence was the law of the land, Helm’s savage set of skills could finally be recognized and rewarded.
The Kentucky Cannibal is a riveting account of Boone Helm and his bloody exploits across the Wild West. Ryan Green’s entrancing narrative draws the listener into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.
Caution: This book contains descriptive accounts of abuse and violence. If you are especially sensitive to this material, it might be advisable not to listen any further.

Gruesome
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I've never heard of Boone Helm, and after reading this book, I'm pretty glad that I haven't. This was informative yet gruesome and gave me the shivers.

Great story!
This is a well written western about a mentally scarred and violent madman who wouldn’t think twice about killing anyone who got in his way. It is set during the American gold rush when he joins a gang of robbers who go after prospectors for their gold. After falling foul of the law he goes on the run from town to town and causing mayhem and deaths wherever he goes. This story is brilliantly researched and well narrated. This book is the author’s first foray into the audible platform and I truly hope his other books are released in the same format. I highly recommend this author for his attention to detail and entertainment value.
