Publisher's Summary
Dear Mr. Manson....
It started with a college course assignment, then escalated into a dangerous obsession. Eighteen-year-old honor student Jason Moss wrote to men whose body counts had made criminal history: men named Dahmer, Manson, Ramirez, and Gacy.
Dear Mr. Dahmer....
Posing as their ideal victim, Jason seduced them with his words. One by one they wrote him back, showering him with their madness and violent fantasies. Then the game spun out of control. John Wayne Gacy revealed all to Jason - and invited his pen pal to visit him in prison....
Dear Mr. Gacy....
It was an offer Jason couldn't turn down. Even if it made him....
The book that has riveted the attention of the national media, this may be the most revealing look at serial killers ever recorded and the most illuminating study of the dark places of the human mind ever attempted.

Too crazy to be true!
Jason Moss draws a line between what is normal and what lengths one can go to to get what they want. This books draws a perfect comparison between the violent and non violent psychopath and the different paths one can take when you're a very driven person.

Unique insight.
Always a good read! It reads like a mix between a novel and non-fiction, and gives original insight into the minds of serial killers (predominantly Gacy). Jason Moss's obsessive interest was unique, vulnerable, naive, methodologically flawed, and immensely interesting.
The voice for Gacy in the audio-book was seedy and kind of creepy. I'm glad to not hear it again!

Adrenalin shivers
An autistic Truman Capote careening down a steep slope, falls off a cliff at the end, holds on with just his fingertips then realises there's a safe ledge two inches below his feet. The arenalin persists

Modest, mature and engaging.
It's nice to read a book in this genera that is intellectual, honest and informative- no petty peddling of half-masticated ideas, or gross blanket judgments on character. I really enjoyed Moss' narrative and Kottler's contributions, which were unique and effective. I even warmed to the voice artist's cadence (after a while). Very smart book. Highly recommend!
