Behold the Monster
ByPublisher Description
Jillian Lauren had no idea what she was getting into when she wrote her first letter to prolific serial killer Samuel Little. All she knew was her research had led her to believe he was good for far more murders than the three for which he had been convicted. While the two exchanged dozens of letters and embarked on hundreds of hours of interviews, Lauren gained the trust of a monster. After maintaining his innocence for decades, Little confessed to the murders of ninety-three women, often drawing his victims in haunting detail as he spoke. How could one man evade justice, manipulating the system for over four decades?
As the FBI, the DOJ, the LAPD, and countless law enforcement officials across the country worked to connect their cold cases with the confessions, Lauren's coverage of the investigations and obsession with Little's victims only escalated.
New York Times bestselling author and lead of the Starz docuseries Confronting a Serial Killer Jillian Lauren delivers the harrowing report of her unusual relationship with a psychopath. But this is more than a deep dive into the actions of Samuel Little. Lauren's riveting and emotional accounts reveal the women who were lost to cold files, giving Little's victims a chance to have their stories heard for the first time.

“DNF @67%. I could not handle the writing and the structure of the story. I also really did not like how subjective the author was, especially when they wrote about their own fantasies of what “may have happened” just to fill in gaps and create a story. I understand they’re a journalist, but I think its best to keep objectivity especially when it comes to real situations because then its not fair to the victims to use them as main story plots when you don’t 100% know what they went through and it also leaves further plot holes and misinformation for serious topics like these.”toruwannabe

“Had I’d been reading this for myself, I would’ve given up on it a lot sooner. I was trying to finish it since it’s a book club book, and I may try to read a little more of the physical copy before the actual club meeting.
I just cannot stand this book. It’s so bad in so many ways. I think the writing itself is incredibly disjointed.
My main issue is the way that this book treats the victims. There are chapters in this book that are purely fictional from their perspective of the women who are murdered. It feels so nasty to do something like this. The way that the women talk about themselves is very derogatory. The way that the book represents them is very derogatory. I don’t know who in their right mind would write (functionally) fanfiction about these murder victims from their perspective about how they feel about their own murder. It’s honestly very gross.”Start a Book Club
