I read it! For some reason that book scared the hell out of me, even though everyone in it is long dead. I cannot see that house without thinking, “That’s the Black Dahlia murder house!” It’s on TV all the time. Recently, it was in an American Express commercial and the girls from America’s Next Top Model lived in it one season. Even if they didn’t murder her there, just the description of the nasty parties that went on would be enough to keep me away.
You can buy the Black Dahlia house — I think it’s for sale. Ew.
That book is creepy with a capital K. The guy that wrote it is very nice, though, and he answers all his email. I feel for him; that had to have been a gruesome discovery about “Daddy.”
The house is also in that recent movie about Howard Hughes starring Leonardo DiCaprio. It’s a cool house, but the vibe in there must be sickening.
Is there a true crime list on FR, or do we all just find ourselves on whatever thread is discussing the latest case, like Laci Peterson or Chandra Levy?
