Description

Boys Enter the House: The Victims of John Wayne Gacy and the Lives They Left Behind In the winter of 1978-79, a series of brutal murders shook the nation, bringing to light the dark secrets of a seemingly ordinary man. John Gacy, a respected member of his community, was revealed to be one of the most notorious serial killers in American history. This book tells the story of the lives of the young men who were brutally taken from their families and friends, and the lives they left behind. Through the testimony of those who knew them, and the investigators who pieced together the evidence, the true stories of these victims are revealed. From the streets of Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, where they grew up and navigated the challenges of adolescence, to the doorstep of the infamous house at 8213 Summerdale Avenue, their lives are brought to life. This is a powerful and poignant exploration of the human experience, and the devastating consequences of violence and depravity.
