Conversations With A Killer (Singles Classic) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
On March 12, 1980, John Wayne Gacy was convicted in Chicago of killing thirty-three boys. The murders took place between 1972 and 1978, when he was caught and arrested. No one else in America has ever been convicted of killing so many people. Twenty-seven of the bodies were buried in a crawl space beneath the house where Gacy lived, in a neighborhood out by O’Hare Airport. About many of the murders there was a suggestion of sexual torture. Twenty-one of the murders were committed before Illinois had enacted a death penalty, and for those Gacy was sentenced to twenty-one terms of life in prison. For the others, he was sentenced to death. He is to be killed on the tenth of May.Published just a month before Gacy’s execution, Alec Wilkinson’s Conversations With a Killer presents a chilling portrait of one of America’s most heinous killers as he sits on death row and maintains his innocence. At once too close for comfort and impossible to put down, Conversations With a Killer is a must-read for true crime fans. Conversations with a Killer was originally published in The New Yorker, April 18, 1994.Cover design by Adil Dara.

An easy read. Gives you some insight into the twisted mind of John Wayne Gacy. What puzzles me is why it took so long to catch this creep. His neighbors must have had olfactory fatigue, been been blind and deaf.
I guess I expected more because I began reading this thinking that it was a book. When I realized it was only an article that was written even before Gacy had been executed, I was quite disappointed. I would have liked to have learned more about the case, not read more of the same.
This article on Gacy was an interesting look into a very sick man. Gacy clearly suffered from some terrible mental disorder, as he sees himself as fully innocent despite everything.
Probably good considering the subject I suppose. But it was well written. A little insight on the insanely twisted mind.
