I play serial killers in two films. One is Ash and Bone. The other I won't mention because it's a mystery for a large chunk of the movie. I read Michelle's book because a serial killer touched the life of someone very close to me. It was fascinating, but I have no desire to go deeper in that genre. The killers I play are both fictional so I create their psyche. Don't really want to delve into the real mind of a real mass murderer.

Respect and understand that completely. I wonder if that was part of the reason she died early. Obsession is dark. And hers was beyond.

And drugs aren't very good for you either. Fentanyl is a menace. It's taken a few of my friends.

You also asked what we were reading. I feel like Josh Malerman's book Inspection is grossly underappreciated.

Bought and in the queue.

Kinda glad we are moving into Spring/Summer here in Utah. So much snow this year. On the plus side, I get off of work when it snows a lot. But shoveling snow is my least favorite thing.

I’ve only seen season 1 of Mindhunters and it was incredible. Sad they cancelled it.

McNamara's books is indeed incredible. Have you read Hillary Campbell's graphic memoir about her true crime obsession? https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Murder-Book/Hilary-Fitzgerald-Campbell/9781524861162

No I haven’t! And thank you for the recommendation ❤️

It’s very good. Asks that big question: Why are women often the most dedicated true crime fans?

Mindhunter was brilliant. A shame there wasn't another season. Fincher is a master of cinematography.

I'm now even more convinced you should read The Shards. (It has a serial killer in it, on the loose in 1980s LA.)
