from my unread pile of books 🫨:
Programmed to Kill: The Politics of Serial Murder - David McGowan
Discussion
PART I
THE PEDOPHOCRACY
“From our comfortable seat in life...we never could have imagined that thousands of well-off adults, integrated and even cultured, find pleasure in seeing children tortured and killed. ”
—From a front-page editorial in Italy’s Corriere della Sera (reprinted in The Irish Times, September 29, 2000)
Fuck man , this book sounds like a rough read. :/
Part one is a decent round-up of pedo rings but the rest is pretty shithouse. Not as bad as McGowan's Laurel Canyon book though.
Grabbed a digital copy for free, so I can sift through any trash.
Maybe it'll remain in the unread pile for a bit longer lol. Been more on a sci-fi /fantasy fiction vibe anyway
Yeah I'd avoid, particularly if you haven't read a bunch of books on serial killers before. He takes serious liberties with the facts.
