Two Heads Equal Two Hands: The Story of the Chatsworth Killer in His Own Words
"The murders must be random, highly simplified, with no elaborate tortures, no exotic locations, no manipulated crime scenes or messages left behind for the cops and media. Every murder must occur inside the residence of the murder victim." (The words of the infamous Chatsworth Killer)
From 2003 to 2006, a series of 14 brutal murders summoned the deepest fears in the hearts of everyone living in California's San Fernando Valley. The killer behind the murders would become known only when he turned himself in to authorities in 2006, confessing to the murders and declaring he had "proof" that "emptiness" and "informational symmetry" made random crime impossible to prevent in modern-day society.
While the subsequent investigation and trial that led to the Chatsworth Killer's life imprisonment have been well documented, the man-monster himself has remained silent - until now. With elaborate legal agreements in place to ensure the killer cannot profit from the resulting book, writer-philosopher Emericus Durden undertook a series of interviews with the man over several months in 2010. The result is Two Heads Equal Two Hands, the first and only account by the serial killer himself of what he did and why he did it.

17 books8 followersFor the past decade, Emericus Durden has been busy creating original, disruptive works of art - both literary art and visual art (still photography). Only recently has he begun presenting his works to the public.

In his writings, Mr. Durden has focused on a wide variety of topics, ranging from the sublime - philosophy and spirituality (e.g., "Aiming Higher Than Civilization" and "Beyond Words & Machines") to the much more hellish - murder and brainwashing (e.g., "Two Heads Equal Two Hands" and "Great & Mighty Things").

Fascinating read
I couldn't put it down while some of it is very difficult to read and makes you think hard about your own sanity it is a fascinating insight into the mind of a serial killer well written and flows beautiful making it a really good read but also will make you question what is insanity and should we still believe that all serial killer's are in fact insane
