Whoever Fights Monsters: My Twenty Years Tracking Serial Killers for the FBI | Tom Shachtman, Robert K. Ressler

pick

This is a memoir of the author‘s time profiling serial killers and violent criminals. It‘s informative but far from prefect. The author spends a bit too much time boasting of his accomplishments. I think it helps to keep in mind this was published in 1993. I have a high tolerance for tragedy, but I have to admit I was a bit disturbed at times with the constant barrage of violent stories told in the author‘s direct and somewhat dispassionate style!

Lust Killer | Ann Rule

pick

I have yet to read an Anne Rule book that isn‘t great. I love how keeps the focus on the victims. Some of the language and ideas around transgenderism was pretty cringe, otherwise is another fantastic Anne Rule hit.

JenlovesJT47 I‘ve only read the Ted Bundy one but now I own all of them. Which should I read next? 4mo

Lauranahe You own all of them?? 😳 It‘s fine, I‘m not jealous at all. Bitter Harvest was really good, it happened here in Kansas City. 4mo

CoverToCoverGirl This is a good book! It‘s so curious that she knew him personally and also worked with him. Truth really is stranger (no pun intended) than fiction. 4mo

Exquisite Corpse | Poppy Z. Brite

For this #hauntedshelf rec I saw the category ‘dark‘ I was thinking what‘s the darkest book I‘ve read. This is some quite extreme horror, needing trigger warnings for absolutely everything, but thr writing was so oddly lyrical and it‘s such an individual book about a relationship I‘ll probably never see the likes of in print again.

TrishB This is a great, very disturbing read! (edited) 4mo

The Road Out of Hell: Sanford Clark and the True Story of the Wineville Murders | Anthony Flacco, Jerry Clark

These are six books on my #TBR that I for sure want to get to during October and #HauntedShelf. I do have others on my TBR that I might get into if I finish these.

I'm so glad Fall is nearly here and I can enjoy my spookier books again...now, if we could just do something about this heat...
