Mark Twitchell was born in Canada in 1979. He had aspirations of becoming a big name filmmaker, and attended the Radio and Television Arts Program at Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. He ultimately graduated from there in 2000. Twitchell was using the popular dating site, Plenty Of Fish, where he found John Brian Altinger. He posed as a woman to lure Altinger to a garage he had set up as a kill room. I won't get into the murder here, how he was found out, or what happened at trial, but it was a wild ride.

This book is included on The Last Podcast On The Left's reading list, which corresponds with an episode about Twitchell. I had heard all of the information about this guy from the episode, but I do like to read the books on the reading list to get more details. I thought it was ridiculous that Twitchell said he was influenced by the old television show Dexter, but I suppose anything is possible. What is a stone cold fact is...this guy is a scumbag. If you are into true crime and learning about scumbags, put this one on your TBR.
