The real story of the daughter of the famous British murderers Fred and Rosemary West — about life in the "house of horrors," where corruption, violence, and murders took place.

What to do and how to live when your mom and... dad are serial killers, famous throughout the country? May West has known this since childhood. Her parents raped, murdered, and then dismembered young women in their home at 25 Cromwell Street, London. The sadistic tendencies of the Wests were not limited to outside victims: abuse and violence were inflicted on their own children. And then the most terrible thing happened: the eldest daughter Heather disappeared. And it turned out that it was her mom and dad who killed her...

Based on her own memories and her mother's prison letters, May West tells her story of growing up in a "house of horrors." What is it like when your childhood bedroom in the basement is a real graveyard? How to accept the fact that your parents brutally kill people? That your mom is a monster, and your dad sexually abuses you? And why are you the one who is lucky to be saved, unlike your beloved older sister? The incredible and tragic story of May West is a story of survival and a lifelong struggle with trauma.

"Reading the book, you just want to burst into that basement, hug that girl, and tell her that from this moment on, everything will be okay. On every page, there is a desire to save children from the terrible nightmare in which they lived every single day. A horrible but emotional story of absolute suffering..." — Vocal
