Description
If you are intrigued by notorious serial killers such as Ted Bundy, Aileen Wuornos, or the Zodiac Killer, and you enjoy unscrupulous graphic details, then this twisted tale of horror is for you! John Goodman evolves from a timid and disorganized criminal into a powerful mastermind of deception and intimidation. He is fictional with many dark sides and whose circumstances revolve around factual persons and events. This Historical Fiction begins in 1955 and ends shortly after the capture of the "Golden State Killer" in 2018. You will be taken on a 75-year-old killer’s journey through life. Can you separate the falsehood from the facts? The real horror is not the murderous activities that are described within these pages. No, the pure terror will come from the transformation of certain characters leading to a suspenseful and climactic ending. Actual characters with fictitious sounding names included in this book are: "The Killer Clown," “Officer Roseland,” “Co-ed killer,” “Texas Tower Sniper,” “Damsel of Death,” “Zodiac Killer,” and “The Lizard King.” After reading this concise novella one might conclude that John is factual.
Reader Reviews
The book feels like the author just pulled a ton of different references for serial killers and threw them into a story while also changing important details to the serial killers stories. The book does not flow well in fact the author stops many times at the end of a chapter to remind us that the main character had a deep southern drawl and that they are in a flashback or are in the present. I get the premise behind that as the book is hard to follow at first however this also detracts from the
John here from Movie Lovers Unite, I got a chance to interview John while he was on a show with me and he sent me out the book and I got a chance to read it while I didn’t have power during hurricane IDA. This book is definitely an easy read that you can read within one day and I like the aspect of the character telling his story from his perspective within the third or fourth chapter. I really think that John is a great and passionate writer who has a lot of growing to do, but I really enjoyed
I wasn't really sure about this book when I picked it up. But like the author said in the about me section of the book, I'm also fascinated by how people can get to this point and how the thought process of a serial killer works. I think the author did a great job delving into the mind of a serial killer. The writing was good and the proofreading was well-done. It was a quick but gripping read and I enjoyed it!
