  John Gilligan is no altar boy, by his own admission. 
   
  One of Ireland's most infamous criminals and drug lords, and widely believed in the court of public opinion to have ordered the cold-blooded murder of crime reporter Veronica Guerin, he remains a defiant figure. 
   
  In this remarkable book—the first of its kind—journalist Jason O'Toole distills hours of sensational face-to-face, no-holds-barred interviews with the feared criminal into a fast-paced and jaw-dropping account of the Irish gangland scene. And Gilligan doesn't mince his words. ‘I didn't believe in God, but I know I'm going to hell.' 
   
  Starting out as a petty thief in Dublin, Gilligan rose to the status of crime lord earning £10 million from drugs within his first two years. He mixed with ‘the General' Martin Cahill, with Gerry ‘The Monk' Hutch and with John Traynor. He was deeply involved with money laundering, miraculously survived an assassination attempt, and it is said he has millions of euro stashed away at a secret location, for future use. 
   
  O'Toole demands answers from Gilligan for all the hard questions; some of his responses will make readers shiver. Gilligan knew that laying all his cards on the table could mean signing his own arrest warrant... or worse. But he has done it here. And with a cast of all the country's deadliest underworld figures, this exposé is nothing short of explosive.

  Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story — Actors and Their Real-Life Counterparts 
  How True Horror Inspired Netflix’s Darkest Transformation 
  By Vivian Brightwell 
  Behind every monster lies a man — and behind every performance, a mirror. 
  In this chilling and deeply reflective audiobook, Vivian Brightwell dissects Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story — exploring how real horror, cinematic artistry, and moral ambiguity collide. Through compelling comparisons between the actors and the real people they portray, this book examines what it truly means to become the monster. 
  From Charlie Hunnam’s unnervingly quiet interpretation of Ed Gein to Tom Hollander’s calculated Alfred Hitchcock, each performance reveals more than imitation — it exposes the uneasy relationship between fact and fiction, empathy and disgust, art and exploitation. 
  Blending historical accuracy, psychological insight, and cultural critique, Brightwell invites listeners to confront an uncomfortable truth: horror endures not because of violence, but because it reflects who we are. 
  Why do we keep watching monsters? 
  Perhaps because, in the end, we’re searching for our own reflection in the dark.
