In 1992, at age 15, Tony Ciaglia received a head injury that left him in a coma for nearly 20 days. When he awoke, the bright teenager was . . . different. There were memory issues, behavioral issues, mood swings, and a new, seemingly obsessive interest in serial killers, with whom Tony felt something akin to fellowship, if not compassion. This unusual and frequently unsettling biography explores Ciaglia’s relationships with serial killers, with whom he began corresponding after his accident—such people as child-killer Arthur Shawcross, Night Stalker Richard Ramirez, Susan Smith (who murdered her own children), and Hillside Strangler Kenneth Bianchi.
