Description: Jonas Williker is considered one of the most sadistic serial murderers of the modern era. This epistolary novel explores the aftermath of his arrest and the psychological trauma of those who lived through it. The Pennsylvania native brutalized his way into the zeitgeist during the early part of the new millennium leaving a trail of corpses across five states before his eventual arrest. All told Williker was responsible for the rape and murder of 23 women and is suspected in the deaths of dozens more. His calling card a torn piece of fabric found on or inside the bodies of his victims helped popularize his now ubiquitous nickname. The Purple Satin Killer. In the years following his arrest Jonas Williker received hundreds of letters in prison. Collected here these letters offer a unique glimpse into a depraved mind through a human lens including contributions from family the bereaved and self - professed fans. They represent a chilling portrait of the American psyche skewering a media obsessed culture where murderers are celebrities to revere. What you learn about the man from these letters will shock you but not as much as what you learn about yourself.
