Product Description
Neighbors were unaware of what went on behind the tightly closed doors of a house in Fresno, California—the home of an imposing, 300-pound Marcus Wesson, his wife, children, nieces, and grandchildren. But on March 12, 2004, gunshots were heard inside the Wesson home, and police officers responding to what they believed was a routine domestic disturbance were horrified by the senseless carnage they discovered when they entered. By Their Father's Hand is a chilling true story of incest, abuse, madness, and murder, and one family's terrible and ultimately fatal ordeal at the hands of a powerful, manipulative man—a cultist who envisioned vengeful gods and vampires, and totally controlled those closest to him before their world came to a brutal and bloody halt.

 A disgusting story, told with impartiality October 4, 2008
This is not necessarily the best written true-crime of the year, but the author does have an ability to turn an utterly disgusting subject and story into something readable. Too much detail or gross-out emotion would have made this story impossible to read. Basically, it reads like a long news article, and I think that's just right for this subject. It's a hard story to read, not because of the author, but because of the horrifying story. In the end, three stars more because it's captures information mostly reported previously, but the author handles it well.
 Boring account of bizarre family July 30, 2008

I found this book to be boring. I could not finish it, and it's a short book. Unfortunate, because the story seemed intriguing (and disgusting). I just didn't care for the writing style.
 Very Well Done July 8, 2008
This book was a fasinating and interesting read.
I know the author, so I know just how hard he worked on this piece. A lot of work and effort went into this book, and it shows.
Monte writes with skill, knowlage, and perspective.
This is the only book written on this massacre, so it must have been a big task to take on.
I reccomend it to anyone who has not read it.
Great job Monte!

This man should be hung and put out of his misery... He is definately a perverted sicko that tortured his family and to think that some of them stood up for him is so sad. I couldn't put this book down.
