We like to think of women as nurturers, not murderers, but women do kill. 'Californias Deadliest Women' is the definitive guide to the murderesses of the Golden State, a horrifying compendium of women driven to kill by jealousy, greed, desperation, or their own inner demons. From Brynn Hartman, who killed her husband, comedian Phil Hartman, to chemist Larissa Shuster, who dissolved her husband in acid, to dominatrix Omaima Aree Nelson, who cooked and ate her husband, the 28 women profiled in 'Californias Deadliest Women' show that the fairer sex can be as eviland as deadlyas any man.

A freewheeling catalog of misfits, eccentrics, creeps, criminals, and failed dreamers, this compendium profiles 45 bizarre personalities who exemplify the Golden State's well-deserved reputation for nonconformity. In the pages, Gold Rush pioneers are revealed as murderous madmen; Hollywood celebrities are shown to be drug-addled sex maniacs; early hippies are just 1950s weirdos; and even seemingly ordinary Californians have a talent for freakish, crazy, and criminal behavior. From frontier lunatic Grizzly Adams, whose head was one massive wound after multiple bear attacks, to "I Love Lucy" star William Frawley, a racist, misogynist, foul-mouthed drunk, and legendarily awful film director Ed Wood, "California Fruits, Flakes, and Nuts" is a side-splitting look at the people who made California the strangest place on earth.
