Human Leopards : $b an account of the trials of Human Leopards before the Special Commission Court; with a note on Sierra Leone, past and present

** "Human Leopards: An Account of the Trials of Human Leopards Before the Special Commission Court" by K. J. Beatty is a historical exploration into the dark world of the Human Leopard Society, a clandestine organization in early 20th-century Sierra Leone known for ritualistic killings and cannibalism; it centers on legal proceedings against its members after they were tried. The book starts by answering common questions about this group and the Special Commission formed to look into their crimes. Revealing his observations, Beatty explains the complicated cultural and social background of Sierra Leone, showing why the Human Leopard Society existed and then leading into descriptions of the cases against them, creating a tone that reflects the Society's scary practice. **
