A serial killer recalls his crimes??,
By David Nolte "crimsoncelluloid" (Adelaide. South Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Killer Fiction (Paperback)
Gerard Schaefer hated women. No two ways about it. He was a serial killer housed in Florida State Prison (until being murdered by a fellow criminal some years back)with plenty of time on his hands and plenty of ink in his hate-filled pen. The stories in this book aren't for those easily offended. He revels in tales of death,torture,necrophilia and unrelenting sadism. These stories are unlike anything you'll find anywhere else on the market especailly considering that Schaefer was convicted of crimes along the lines of those he writes about. So, despite his claims to the contrary, the reader is left wondering whether he was speaking from experience or merely making it all up. Somehow I doubt the latter is the case. Highly recommended.

Rarely does my jaw drop...,

This review is from: Killer Fiction (Paperback)
One of the more twisted things I've read. 'Tis a collection of short stories written by serial killer Gerard Schaefer. Written both before and after his arrest. They are primarily written from the first person point of view, becoming a sort of literary "Henry: portrait of a serial killer". Schaefer is certainly not a great writer, but neither is he terrible and so he effectively pulls you into his mindset. Some people's moral compass may momentarily feel "dizzy" while reading one of his stories. It's rather sickening.Almost every story details the stalking and strangulation of a woman. And Schafer obsessively details each murder, offering detailed descriptions of EVERY substance that the body emits upon death. Even true crime books usually omit _those_ nauseating details. In the intro, Colin Wilson says he's never read through the whole book, as it induces a "halitosis of the soul". Well said.

Disgusting and repetitive,
By Professor Rowe "Dr. Rowe" (North Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Killer Fiction (Paperback)
Serial killer Schaefer's stories make for a revolting read. He was a serial writer too - read one and you've read them all. Contains a silly preface by his then-girlfriend, serial killer groupie Sondra London.
