Drawing on exclusive interviews and previously unreported material, journalist Tim Cahill "offers the stuff of wrenching nightmares" (The Wall Street Journal): a harrowing journey inside the mind of a serial killer. Meticulously researched and graphically recounted, Buried Dreams brings to vivid life the real John Wayne Gacy-his complex personality, compulsions, inadequacies, and torments-often in the killer's own words. Called "an absorbing and disturbing story" by Publishers Weekly and "surprisingly graceful" by the New York Times, this is a journey to the heart of human evil that you will never forget.
"A spellbinding narrative of Gacy's life and crimes . . . Cahill's juggernaut of a book will go down as the definitive story."
Kirkus Reviews
"A rare and brilliant work of criminal literature that must stand with Truman Capote's In Cold Blood and Norman Mailer's The Executioner's Song as a seminal example of the investigative genre . . . The kind of book you hate passionately from page one but simply can't put down."
