I especially need one. I love specialized works that drill down on Houdini in a specific city or region by the local historian, and that's exactly what this is. Below are details for Metamorphosis: Houdini in Woonsocket, Rhode Island by Gregory Duhamel.
This book explores Houdini's historic visits to Woonsocket, Rhode Island, tracking a timeline that stretches from his earliest professional struggles to his absolute peak of international fame. In Woonsocket, a young, cash-strapped Houdini survived a disastrous 1896 tour with the "American Gaiety Girls". Years later, he returned as a triumphant superstar, famously escaping six sets of police handcuffs and a locked room in mere seconds. Through localized history and biographies of the residents, lawmen, and promoters who crossed his path, this book pulls back the curtain on Houdini’s deep ties to a gritty, vibrant Rhode Island mill town.
You can buy Metamorphosis: Houdini in Woonsocket, Rhode Island on Amazon. You can also get more information at the book's launch event page on Facebook. Gregory also has merch on his official website.
Keep 'em coming!
