I post about childrens' books when everyone else is talking about serial killers....
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Well, you could post about John Wayne Gacy--clown at children's parties as well as a serial killer, thus uniting the two themes!

Kathy, you are so very Wrong.

Hee!
Actually, I had an assistant manager at the bookstore whose landlady was Gacy's first wife. Very creepy, thinking about being married to a killer, especially one as notorious as him.

Because books.
See, and I was going to say Kathy's suggestion was so very Right, in that good and twisted wrong way.
John List was from the town where I grew up -- he was another one who killed his entire family, disappeared, and remarried to a completely clueless woman (clueless about his past, that is). So creepy to think about how she felt when they caught him.

List was the one who was found when America's Most Wanted did a age-adjusted model of his face and someone found it a remarkable resemblance to her neighbor, wasn't he?

Yup. They also based the Terry O'Quinn movie Stepfather on the story. (Although he didn't actually have a stepdaughter.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh.
