On Among Monsters, Damien Vale descends into the chilling world of Hadden Clark, an elusive serial killer who haunted Maryland and New England, claiming to consume his victims and collecting their gruesome "trophies."

Tonight, unravel the profoundly fractured mind of Hadden Irving Clark, a predator whose quiet demeanor masked an unimaginable capacity for cruelty. This episode delves into Clark's disturbing childhood, marked by abuse and undiagnosed mental illness, which set him on a terrifying path. Discover how he lured unsuspecting women, including 6-year-old Michele Dorr and 23-year-old Laura Houghteling, into his web of deceit and torture, often wearing elaborate disguises.

Explore the horrifying discovery of Clark's "trophy trunk" filled with victim belongings, and his chilling claims of cannibalism and dozens of unconfirmed murders. Damien Vale exposes the systematic nature of Clark's crimes, his taunting of authorities, and the tragic reality that many of his victims, often marginalized, remain nameless and unfound.

This is more than a true crime story; it's a deep psychological portrait of a monster who operated in plain sight, a stark reminder that evil can walk in unexpected forms. A crucial listen for fans of true crime, psychological thrillers, and those interested in the complexities of serial killers, mental illness, and cold cases.
