I Hear Voices (or do I?)

Once again, author Ryan Green has delved into the mind of a serial killer and given his readers some insight into the workings of a truly deranged individual. Herbert Mullin killed 13 people in a fit of schizophrenic fugue (at least, according to Herb), including 2 young children. At the same time as his killing spree, another serial killer was a work in the Santa Cruz, California area, making his capture even harder for the authorities.

In Herb's mind, he was a hero, committing the murders as human sacrifices in order to save humanity from horrific earthquakes. Claiming to hear voices telling him to kill, he sought out victims from all walks of life. However, this book will make you wonder if he was truly mentally ill or just too lazy to live a normal life, complete with earning a living.

Mr. Green does his usual thorough job of melding a killer's own words and thoughts with just enough embellishment to make this book highly readable. This book includes a lot of Mullin's actual rantings,which are definitely the stuff of nightmares. Some of his beliefs will leave you truly disgusted. If you "enjoy" the true crime genre, you can't go wrong with any of Mr. Green's books. With plenty of detail without a lot of filler, this book will keep you reading until the bitter end.

The audiobook version of this book is narrated by Mr. Green's usual narrator, Steve White, who does a fantastic job. His "just the facts" narration is perfect for this genre and makes the audiobook an easy listen.
