Ketchum wrote “Girl Next Door”, a horrifying tale of cruelty. Was this one good?

This whole thread made my day! Glad you were riding a train and took the time. I understand there’s been a real shift in how Baltimore pursues violent offenders, work within the community and with prevention. It shows it’s possible to change.

Tia Levings, hollowed out by grief from losing her newborn daughter and her 2-year old climbs to sit on her lap:” Children bring grace, they unlock the living among the dead. Katie’s petal-soft skin, the animation in her bones, quickened the parched marrow in mine” That hit hard.

It’s possible to snap a ligament without doing much.You should probably check it out. A friend of mine snapped her backside thigh while walking down stairs. A doctor needed to go in and fish out the ligament and sow it back into right place.

Confession: I bought Manhunt thanks to the cover. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I realized I, a cis-het, wasn’t necessarily the target audience but I kinda felt welcomed in on the ride anyway.

I’m thinking that Iran has a well organized diaspora and domestic resistance, yet seems like the resistance is futile. Will it be possible with a revolution inside not armored by foreign actors?

I read “Trailed” by Kathryn Miles. She brings up a serial killer who was caught for other murders, and in his home a lot of women’s underwear was found. They’ve been sitting untested in FBI evidence, and not been cross tested against Col Parkway murders.

Dermot Mulroney, thanks to his superb acting in Stoker. When I saw him years later in Downtown Abbey he gave me the creeps. Took a while to figure out why.

It is vitally important that stories like this are still published, and that more importantly, they are READ. Please read this.

Maureen Callahan, “American Predator” Israel Keyes is one of the least known serial killers, and in hindsight it’s almost incredible he actually got caught. Callahan interviewed detectives and agents. When DA Feldis insists on conducting interviews- hooo boy.

Why did it take me 30 years to re-read this one? It’s superb. The women are fully portrayed, flesh and wounds, warts and beauty. The wimpy, whiny, vain male characters with their fragile egos are just props to drive the narrative, mirrored through the eyes of their women but Atwood does it SO WELL.

Gretchen Felkner-Martin, “Cuckoo” is grimy, slimy body horror, mixed with the desperate isolation of teenagers dumped by their families in a conversion camp. It’s scary and terrifying and entertaining at the same time.

It sounds similar to intrusive thoughts. If you’re very occupied trying not to imagine a pink elephant, that’s all you’re going to be able to think of. CBT should work maybe?

”all the colours of the dark” has a lot in common with the previous “we begin at the end”. The theme is how violence and trauma derails lives, it’s about loyalty and friendship. The book spans forty years. Could not put it down!

“My Mother Wore A Yellow Dress” by Christina McKenna. With warm language and quiet humor she tells us about the loveless childhood, fear inducing school and learning how to break the family tradition and find wonder and love. There’s a pivotal tale of the haunting by Great-Aunt Rose.
