“Seriously creepy story. Seriously creepy serial killer. Story of murderer Richard Ramerez and the women he murdered in Los Angeles. He really had/has a sick mind. And during his court appearences, women actually fell for him. How disgusting, how desperate. Very distrubing, yet true account.”

Richard Ramirez gave me the serious creeps & still does...I remember this book, and some of the stuff RR said YEARS after I read it. He is a true predator.”

“Fascinating book into the mind and making of a serial killer, and the people that follow him. But not just a a cold blooded serial killer, but a delusional psycopath at that.”

“I read this book when i was in HS. I was into true crime at that time and had found a bag of these types of books in an abandoned house on my street. Was scary because it was true.”

“As far as true-crime biographies go, it isn't all that well written but it is well-researched. However, it did manage to scare the daylights out of me.”

Research is the strong suit of this book about darkly handsome Richard Ramirez, who terrorized Los Angeles for 14 months in 1984-85 with his penchant for breaking into homes dressed all in black, where he fiercely assaulted, sodomized, robbed, and (in 13 cases) murdered his victims. Carlo spent more than 100 hours interviewing Ramirez on death row, more than a month in El Paso, Texas, talking to Ramirez's family and friends, and another month hanging out with the two detectives who solved the case. He made visits to all 19 crime scenes in the middle of the night. His narrative maintains a steady focus on Ramirez, drawing no conclusions about his Satanism or his mental pathology and simply letting his appalling deeds and words speak for themselves. The trial and post-trial sections are long but interesting, covering Ramirez's rage attacks and his many "groupies" (one of them a juror!), especially Doreen Lloyd, whom he married in September 1996
"based on sixty hours of personal interviews with Richard Ramirez himself.This book is one of the most scary TC books I've read." ”
