I've just ordered "Killing For Company" by Brian Masters, the book about Dennis Nielson and how/why he killed all the gays.
He also wrote the brilliant "She Must have Known" about Fred and Rose West, which I only read on the recommendation of someone I'd lent "Beyond Belief" (about the Moors murders) to.
Anyone else read any of these books, and what did you think?
You'll all probably be thinking I have a morbid fascination with mass murders now, which I probably have.

I read Happy Like Murderers by Gordon Burn after it was in the Guardian. It's the history of Rose and Fred West and after I read it I swore never to read another true crime book. I'm not squeamish, but there was a whole load of horrific details about what they got up to that turned my stomach - at one point it mentioned some device that Fred West had built to abuse the kids with and I just sort of glossed over it mentally in a sort of "I really really really don't want to know" way. If it had been fiction, I would have had no problem with it; but knowing that it was real was just too horrific.

Sod the murders, the thing that really freaked me out was the story about a lad who David Nielson knew when he was a child who fell into the sea and dies. When his body was found his eyes had been eaten out by crabs.
Now I have even more of a reason to be scared of them than I already do

Add to that the fact he tried to swap the human flesh with pieces of KFC and you've almost got a farce!
