The first book from volume one of the Killer In My Head Series by Jon Biddle is a thriller book chronicling the life and crimes of John Wayne Gacy. Like his other murder mystery books, Biddle’s latest horror book tells the story of Pogo, the Clown, along with a true-crime recounting about the real-life serial killer it is based on.
Born to a toxic and abusive father, John Wayne Gacy is no stranger to violence. Growing up, he yearned for his father’s approval, but physical and mental abuse was what he got instead. Determined to please his father, he becomes a salesman, eventually starting his own contracting business.
Gacy also joins a group of local clowns, going by the alias — Pogo the Clown. His mission is to bring smiles to kids. But is there more to Pogo than meets the eye? As his popularity grows, so does the number of young boys and men disappearing without a trace. The disappearances seem random, and the victims appear to have no connection to each other except for one thing — they are all gay. Does that have something to do with their disappearance? Then again, this is the 1960s 70s, when homosexuality was heavily frowned on. So, is this the missing link? And who’s behind these disappearances?
When a stock controller from the local pharmacy goes missing, all clues point to Gacy. And when investigators rip Gacy's floorboards apart, they are horrified — and that’s putting it mildly.
Based on one of America’s most prolific serial killers, this short book from Jon Biddle will make your blood curdle even as it keeps you hooked till the very last page. A word of caution: this isn’t for the faint-hearted. Pick it up only if you have the stomach for blood and gore.
