i hope i'm doing this right.

this is one of my most favorite books. i hope it's alright that i'm stealing a description from wiki. i'm no good at explaining things right now.

"The story is mostly narrated by a middle-aged pedophile and child killer who is serving a life sentence.

He receives correspondence from a 19-year-old girl who is on her summer holiday from college and has plans to seduce a 12-year-old neighbourhood boy. The child killer encourages her and gives her tips on seducing children and he delights in the girl's letters detailing the progress of what she is up to. The scenes involving the girl (who is never named) are written from a third-person perspective."

fiction, serial killers, taboos, sexuality
