"If you want to freak yourself out Hollywood-style, The Silence of the Lambs is probably the crème de la crème of serial killer movies, no? If you prefer a Dutch kidnapping story, go for The Vanishing. Both are incredible."

I read this book in college back in 2004. I really enjoyed it, as I do all books involving true crime. This book was exceptionally intense becasue of the sensitive subject matter, i.e. the serial killer being a young boy. Very good read.

Decent Thriller
Definitely more thriller than a horror, Slasher film. A mix of Stranger Things crossed with Disturbia. A group of friends spy on their cop neighbour and suspect he could be a local serial killer.
A slow burner with very little horror for the most part. Features more on the friendship as they spend the summer spying on their neighbour to try and find evidence if he could be a serial killer. Their friendship is the strong part of the film. So if you like the other shows mentioned you should enjoy this.

A new spin on the Slasher genre
An interesting take on the Slasher film. This is done in a documentary style of a TV crew following a serial killer. Check it out if you are a Slasher fan.

As with the first in the series, The Serial Killer's Wife, this is not your usual serial killer story and although this is the second book, you don't have to have read the first ... this can be listened to/read as a standalone very easily.

Jenny is a local vet living with her husband and 2 children in a quiet village in Devon where nothing usually happens but then a young woman goes missing, Jenny is having blackouts and someone is leaving her "presents" on her doorstep. Jenny starts to doubt her own sanity and suspects those around her but could it be related to her father, the serial killer known as The Painted Lady Killer? Is Jenny taking after her father?

This is a great book to listen to and although it's a slow burner, it certainly kept me engaged throughout. It's full of suspense and mystery with a great twist at the end and I particularly liked the narrators who did a great job.

Many thanks to HarperCollins UK Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to The Serial Killer's Daughter and share my thoughts.

Odelia Grey's friend thinks her son might be the Blond Bomber, a serial killer who has been terrorizing Orange County, California. Odelia's gut says the killer is someone else, but can she prove it before the killer strikes again? As always, the characters seem like real people and the plot moved forward quickly. I had a very hard time putting the book down.

Summer of 84 (2018)
Summer of 84 (2018)
2018 | Horror
In June of 1984 two huge events occured. One being my birth, but the other not quite as great, as there was a serial killer on the loose in Cape May. Four 15 year old boys, who were like The Monster Squad meets The Hardy Boys, know that every serial killer is someone's neighbor, and they think their neighbor fits the bill. Unlike the kids on the milk cartons, Summer of 84 is not to be missed. Just as every 15 year old boy is excited about spying on the hot girl across the street and seeing her change clothes, you should be just as excited to see Summer of 84.

One of the most iconic lines ever said appears in this movie about a cop who is trying to stop a serial killer who kills people on roof tops. Great action and good story line makes this one of Eastwoods most beloved characters.
