AlbakiReads Editorial

A Baltimore true-crime case

Anthony Stebbins’s account centers on Joe Metheny, a serial killer active in 1990s Baltimore. The description distinguishes Metheny’s claims—up to ten victims—from the cases in which he was convicted: two murders and one kidnapping. It also highlights the detail behind his “Cannibal” nickname: he made burgers from some victims’ flesh and sold them at a roadside barbecue stand. The book is presented as an account of the case, including its connection to people struggling with drug addiction and the targeting of young women in prostitution.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in true-crime accounts of murder, kidnapping, and missing-person cases.
  • Readers seeking accounts focused on a specific criminal case and its Baltimore setting.

Book overview

Joe Metheny was a serial killer active in Baltimore, Maryland in the 1990s. He claimed that he had killed up to ten victims. However, he was convicted of only two cases of murder and one case of kidnapping. He mostly preyed on young white prostitutes who like himself, struggled with drug addiction. The most bizarre thing about him was the fact that he made burgers out of the flesh of some of his victims. He then sold these burgers to unsuspecting customers at a barbecue stand he opened by the side of the road. Because of this, he was given the nickname "The Cannibal".
This is his story.
