From what I can tell, this is a “based on a true story” kind of nonfiction. Relatively few sources are provided, so large parts of the narrative appear to be fabricated. A little disappointing for me, because I wanted some clarity on the man behind the genderqueer serial killer movie stereotype and how much of that characterization is Freudian weirdness. I’ll have to find out a different way.

Feels weird rating it, so I’ll keep it unrated for now.

Well written narrative of a triple murder and the insane artist responsible for it. Gives an overall feel for the time, some extra murders seem added just for the heck of it, but an interesting read

The story itself was interesting and well-researched, but at times I felt like the author was padding it because he didn't have enough material. I would have preferred to read a shorter, tighter account of Bob Irwin's mad, murderous mayhem.
