Last Victim, The de Jason Moss
Slightly ham-fisted writing style. Perhaps a bit under par in terms on how it all flows along when compared to my recent readings. But, if nothing else it should certainly give you pause, especially knowing that the writer committed suicide 06/06/06. In fact, it should give you more than just pause. In fact, it will even blow your mind.
A scary disturbing but fascinating journey into the mind of John Wayne Gacy
Jason Moss is 18 and a College student who decides to do a term paper on Serial killers. He wants them to open up to him as they've never done with the FBI. The only way to accomplish this is to contact them and portray himself as the victim.
He has the inflated ego of an 18 year old male who thinks he is smarter
And can manipulate them.
His first choice is the prolific serial killer Gacy.
I'm his letters to Gacy and subsequent phone calls, he portrays himself
as the kind of young man that Gacy would find attractive.
Although Jason corresponds with Dahmer, Manson and Richard Rameriz,
The Night Stalker,
it's his relationship with Gacy that he is obsessed with and takes up most of the book.
Reading this narrative was like watching a fatal accident, you are disgusted but can't look away.
I must give Jason points for confidence and his research but have to acknowledge his stupidity and massive ego as well.
One harrowing and graphic scene is what happens when he visits Gacy and is face to face in a room with the killer, no guards, and realizes he's being manipulated and has been all along by this monster.
It is no wonder Gacy had haunted him for years after his execution.
There is no update in the book about Jason.
He was married and went on to become a successful lawyer.
Sadly, on 06/06/06 Jason took his own life.
One can only suspect the demons that haunted him.
And perhaps he truly was Gacy's LAST VICTIM.
A film titled Dear Mr. Gacy was based on this book.… (mais)

A bizarre, fascinating story that's hard to believe is actually true. What compelled me to keep reading was the fact that the mind and motives of Jason Moss were more enshrouded in mystery than the serial killer's. A twisted, morbid read that I couldn't put down.
Really gives a great insight truly into the controlling minds of killers. I was quite intrigued by this as well as Jason's bravery! I just like others are curious to know what makes these people tick, how can they live with themselves or even believe that what they did wasn't wrong or that they deserved it. He has great insight into how negative you can make yourself instantly putting yourself in that environment - I worked in prisons for a bit myself and don't think I could have done what Jason did. Very interesting read!… (mais)
