The Last Victim: A True-Life Journey Into the Mind of the Serial Killer by Jason Moss
5.0
I read this book years ago and I still think of it often.
A true documentation of law student Jason Moss, who contacts incarcerated serial killers as part of a thesis. He corresponded with infamous figures such as Richard Ramirez, Charles Manson, Henry Lee Lucas, Jeffrey Dahmer and most often John Wayne Gacy. This book is an account of their conversations, and the power these horrid humans still had behind bars.
Featuring real letters and art from the correspondences, it’s a disturbing look into the minds of these men. I was enthralled with this story, even if I do believe it was a bit embellished (what documentary isn’t).
Jason Moss unfortunately committed suicide on June 6, 2006 (6/6/06), which makes me wonder how much of Richard’s Satanic influence stuck with him. It’s a horrifying and interesting novel and I absolutely recommend it to any true crime readers.
