It feels as if I've held my breath for 2 years in anticipation. I pre-ordered "Behold the Monster" months ago, already being infatuated with @jillianlauren 's writing. I've read her book, "Everything You Ever Wanted" and fell in love with her writing style. โ๏ธ
I already posess this wicked obsession with serial killers and after exploring other work she may have done,
I didcovered she had a documentary on STARZ called Confronting a Serial Killer. I thought, wow, me and this woman would be best friends. ๐คฃ Holy hell was my crime junkie heart in for it!!! this was THE best crime documentary I have ever seen. Samuel Little is the most prolific serial killer and has killed over 90 women over the last few decades. But, this documentary took telling a crime story to new heights as this man had formed an eerie love, if you will, for Jillian, unleashing his darkest secrets to her which helped law enforcement solve so many murders, putting identity to several women who were strangled by this evil man's hands. But, the toll this correspondence took on her is fascinatingly haunting.
I did more research on Jillian after watching this documentary and discovered she was, at the time, writing this book.
I have looked forward to this book release for 2 years...
I cannot imagine the tears that poured onto these pages, the torture she endured obtaining this information and then the agony it took to type out every single word inside this masterpiece.
Go purchase this book TODAY!!!! ๐ "Behold the Monster."
