Hey guys, just thought id take a walk on the wild side to this part of the website! Woo!

So I have read a lot of books but I'm only interested in one type... true crime! Any true crime, prison stories, murders, abuse. A personal favourite author would be Ann Rule but I think I have got threw most of hers.

So can you guys name a few for me? No need to tell me what they're about, I will check them out on Google. Cheers ;)

Abuse? I read true crime all the time. Some are, of course, a lot better than others.

I like Barbara Davis.

Domestic violence if I can put it into better wording, thanks I will check out her books

Google Joshilyn Jackson,Backseat Saints,reviewed in Washington Post last summer.

It's a powerful book,but not exectly ' easy' reading.

Are you anywhere near a library that uses the Dewey Decimal Classification system? If so, look at the books in 364.1523. That's the true crime section. A reference librarian will help you find books if the classification system is different from that.

A classic is In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. When I was in my true-crime phase, I read as many books as I could that had been written about a particular murderer or murder -- Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Lizzie Borden, John List, Jon Benet Ramsey, Charles Starkweather, Ed Gein, H.H. Holmes, Diane Downs, Charles Manson, Jeffrey MacDonald, David Berkowitz (Son of Sam), Zodiac Killer, John Wayne Gacy. (I bolded my favorites.)

This site might give you more names to follow up on and read about --
