The definitive study of John Wayne Gacyâfrom his abusive childhood to the murders of thirty-three boysâbased on four years of investigative reporting. Â John Wayne Gacy, the âKiller Clown,â was a suburban Chicago businessman sentenced to death in 1980 for a string of horrific murders after the bodies of his victims were found hidden in a crawl space beneath his Des Plaines, Illinois, home. The serial killer had preyed on teenagers and young menâat the same time entertaining at childrenâs parties and charitable events dressed as âPogo the Clown.â Â Drawing on exclusive interviews and previously unreported material, journalist Tim Cahill âoffers the stuff of wrenching nightmaresâ (The Wall Street Journal): a harrowing journey inside the mind of a serial killer. Meticulously researched and graphically recounted, Buried Dreams brings to vivid life the real John Wayne Gacyâhis complex personality, compulsions, inadequacies, and tormentsâoften in the murdererâs own words. Â Called âan absorbing and disturbing storyâ by Publishers Weekly and âsurprisingly gracefulâ by the New York Times, this is a journey to the heart of human evil that you will never forget. Â |
