Less than 2 weeks after her boyfriend killed 5 people in cold blood, Anne received a package from the grave.
It came from the man she’d spent the last year with, Lyndon McLeod. Inside were the rights to Sanction—a three-volume book series McLeod wrote under a pseudonym that graphically details a killing spree carried out by a character who shares his name—and a 47-minute movie he shot and edited in his final days. The film, titled “War Horse,” contains footage that appears to tell the story of McLeod planning and carrying out the attack. The package also contained the books and movie on an SD card, and a note telling Anne she should use them to make money.
The postmark shows the package was sent Dec. 27, 2021, the same day McLeod, in a cold and calculated manner, killed five people and injured two others in locations around Denver, including a police officer, who managed to shoot back and kill him. (snip)
Now, after struggling to decide whether to post the film online, those closest to the mass murderer have made it available on his website, charging $10 to rent it and $30 to own it.
"It's disturbing,” said Al Cardenas, whose sister was killed in the massacre. (snip)
The murders were a chilling ritual of bringing fiction into reality: Two of the characters killed in Sanction shared the same name as two of the victims in McLeod’s real-life spree. One of them was even killed in a way that bore a striking resemblance to what happened on the page.
Thanks to the books, McLeod was a minor figure among the “manosphere”—a loose collective of online misogynists, self-help hucksters, men’s rights activists, incels, and the like. The novels earned McLeod invites to right-wing podcasts and tweets from far-right online personalities.

This barely made a ripple in the local news. Tattoo wars.
Are we talking about Arec Barrin?
” The novels earned McLeod invites to right-wing podcasts and tweets from far-right online personalities. “
I don’t believe this for one second.
The media will never talk about loyal foot soldier Aric Bawdrin.

No, thanks.
No more than I would read about people selling John Wayne Gacy’s artworks.
The totality should have been burned the day it was received.
Hollywood will be all over this story! We may see multiple movies about it.
I’m sort of intrigued by what was in his novels. The one guy said “literary masterpiece” etc. Dunno, he was using names in his fiction of folks he actually knew and talked about killing them and stuff. That...doesn’t.....sound.....very literary.....
I don’t think I’m intrigued enough actually to read one or both of them (Sanction and War Horse) especially if I have to pay for ‘em.
I mean, a little kid who has a grudge against someone will write a story or draw a cartoon about killing that person, so how could it be any good? The guy sure had a talent for scamming people out of money, I’ll hand him that.
Just like most visual art - paintings, sculpture, etc - the modern novel is usually very childish in what it portrays, in comparison with works of past literary artists. Modern novels try to outrage and offend. That seems to be the only frontier in any art form anymore.
I like that: “Now, after struggling to decided...”
Sounds like she really struggled, doesn’t it?
It figures that “vice” magazine would try to lend a hand so a crazy dead murderer’s dim-witted friends can make some money.
You mean he got invited to talk to B3n Sh4piro????!!!!!
