3.5. Read Killer Clown by Terry Sullivan before this. This book is more narrative than his, detailed in a different way. If you don’t like police/courtroom procedural and prefer a narrative then this is more your speed.

First off, I want to commend Tim Cahill's writing. He made this book a good read for me. Basically, Buried Dreams is about John Wayne Gacy -- all the hows and whys of the crime that he did. The book is like a really, really long police report. It talked about the probable cause of John's actions, his feelings towards it, why he did it, how he did it, his secrets, the crawlspace, etc. I was annoyed reading this what with all the contradicting thoughts Gacy was giving. Also, I couldn't really bring myself to believe everything written in this book. Some or most of it could be lies. I mean, the only direct source of information here is Gacy, the criminal himself. He could be lying for all we know. Trying to outsmart everyone for one last time.

This is my kind of horror book: true crime, disturbing, a complete out-of-body experience of another mind that was completely twisted with a veneer of sanity

This book is to long and to detailed. Could have been half the size. The writing style is all over the place and reveals information slowly and painfully. If you are interested in knowing more about John Wayne Gacy, read another book
