About this listen

In the early 1950s Leonard Lawson was the writer/artist of one of Australia's most popular comic books - The Lone Avenger. In May 1954 he rocked Sydney when he sexually assaulted five young women, ranging in age from 15 to 22, in French's Forest, an act that he was sentenced to death for, which was commuted. Upon his release in 1961 he then raped and murdered another girl before taking an entire school hostage, where he killed another young girl. For his crimes, Lawson was sentenced to Never Be Released.

This is the story of Leonard 'Lennie' Lawson. It lifts the lid on Lawson's life, and that of his ancestor, Mark Brooker, who was also sentenced to death but was transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1825. This book lifts the lid on what drove Lawson to be the Monster that he admitted that he was, and also reveals, for the first time, the full extent of Lawson's crimes.

Using court trial transcripts, contemporary accounts and unpublished material, including correspondence from Lawson himself, Monster will both captivate and horrify the reader as Lawson's depravity and his true nature is revealed.

Monster is the real story of Leonard Lawson. Rapist, murderer and comic book artist.
