melangell reviewed The Gates of Janus by Ian Brady
Review of 'The Gates of Janus' on 'Storygraph'
This book is unreadable and has nothing to offer. As Peter Sotos writes in the afterword that Brady objected to:
First off, you don't ask a child molester to write a book on serial killing. ... Because the child rapist and murderer and pornographer will obviously lie. ... He can adopt the dime-a-dozen serial killer front of puffed-up superiority, all from his tiny cell, and serve the typical cold dish of chest-beating mental clarity over personal introspection.
