I've always enjoyed a good true crime book. Being from South Carolina, I have heard a lot about Pee Wee Gaskins because he is from here (and actually one of his murders was someone my mom went to school with). I am not a squeamish person or easily disturbed, but this novel is VERY graphic and goes into depth with each murder. At times I was literally cringing while reading it. I should have known how graphic it was because upon purchasing it the novel is kept behind the counter and I had to pres

I'm not sure how to "star" this. The syntax, misused vocabulary, and incorrect grammar remain to cultivate a voice, and it works, and it's pretty scary on its own (as the compiler, Earle, puts it - to know how commonplace and unmistakable evil can coexist).

Novice true crime fans won't like this book and might feel like they have to take a shower after reading. Hard to find. I think it is actually out of print. Only available at the delivery desk at BPL. I got my copy at a yard sale. Don't say I didn't warn you!
