Perfect for you if...

You're fascinated by true crime and want access to actual correspondence with historical serial killers, not just speculation about their minds.
You appreciate psychological depth and the real stakes of investigating darkness—this isn't a thriller, it's a memoir that gets messy and dangerous.
You've read Silence of the Lambs or similar crime fiction and want the real-life version with actual killer letters and psychological insight.

Maybe not for you if...

You need emotional distance from trauma. Moss documents his own psychological spiral alongside the killers' violent fantasies, and it's genuinely unsettling.
You want true crime wrapped up neatly. This ends tragically and deliberately, without redemptive closure.
You're looking for a straightforward killer profile book. This is a memoir about one man's dangerous obsession as much as it is about the criminals.

About this book

Last Victim documents Jason Moss's true-life correspondence with serial killers. What began as a college course assignment escalated into a dangerous obsession when the eighteen-year-old honor student wrote to men including Dahmer, Manson, Ramirez, and Gacy. Moss posed as their ideal victim, using his words to seduce them into correspondence. One by one, they responded, sharing their violent fantasies. The exchange spiraled out of control when John Wayne Gacy revealed details to Moss and invited him to visit in prison—an offer Moss accepted despite the risks. The book presents an in-depth look at serial killers and explores the psychology behind their crimes, offering insight into the darker aspects of the human mind.
