About this listen
Beginning in the spring of 1984, a series of letters were sent to the LAPD, wrapped in light blue envelopes with ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ stamped across the back. These letters described multiple gruesome murders that were allegedly committed by the writer. At first the typewritten letters seemed to be the ramblings of a mad man. However, in time, and as more bodies were found, the accuracy of details foretold in the letters made it clear that they were, in fact, written by the prolific killer.
This is the story of The Glendale Butcher, one of the most prolific serial killers of the 20th century, told in his own words through these letters. Be warned: The letters are presented in their unredacted form, and include explicit, gory scenes of violence toward women and men, body horror, torture, sexual situations and death. Nothing has been held back.
The letters were laid out not as a confession, but as a celebration of the killer’s enjoyment of his “art”, yet with a staggering coldness – an eerie soullessness – that conveyed not remorse, but a point of pride in how the killer had accomplished his torturous murders, and how he relished in the absolute cruelty of it all.
As time progressed, the tone of the letters darkened and the explicit nature of the descriptions intensified. It became obvious that the killer was becoming more excited with his murder and torture techniques, and was getting “more eager to play a game of cat and mouse” with the detectives on the case, whom he referred to as his "friends". It also shows his mental decline, as he needs more creative and disturbing murders to satiate his soul.
This is the seventh book presented by author Christopher Pinto, and is his first work of non-supernatural fiction. Readers have expressed enjoyment in reading Pinto's flowing, conversational style, from his Neo-Noir paranormal mysteries to his handy guide on How to Kill Vampires. At only 100 pages, and broken down into short letters, this book is great for easy reading at your leisure.
