Gosnell's Babies: Inside the Mind of America's Most Notorious Abortion Doctor (Kindle Single)

"With all due respect, Stephen King's Doctor Sleep is not the season's most frightening book. That distinction belongs to Gosnell's Babies."— Alexander Nazaryan, The Atlantic Wire

"Very well written ... A must-read for anybody who followed this case."— Jake Tapper, CNN

In this chilling tale set against the backdrop of one of the most controversial issues of our times, award-winning journalist Steve Volk tells the decades-long saga of Kermit Gosnell — the abortion doctor whose clinic in a poor section of Philadelphia was revealed to be a house of horrors.

Volk — the only journalist to speak to Gosnell since his conviction and imprisonment — brings the eccentric doctor to life, detailing his past in the early days of the abortion-rights movement and getting him to reveal, for the first time ever, why he did what he did. Was Gosnell a monster, or something else?

Volk's powerful storytelling gives us a definitive understanding of a complex character, a horrific case, and a divisive issue.
