Reviews

[♥ Marlene♥ · Rating 3 out of 5]

A quickly put together book about this serial killer. The authors wanted to be first but alas that does not mean it is very good. There is quite a lot of footage on youtube of this creep. There is another book about him. From the Mouth of The Monster, also not so good but together you will get the picture.
