The story of Clara Schwartz is one of a troubled young woman who had a turbulent relationship with her father. While this is certainly not an unusual situation, the outcome, in the case, was deadly. In December of 2001, Schwartz enlisted the help of friends, including a mentally ill teenager, to murder her father Robert Schwartz. Through an elaborate and twisted role-playing game, Schwartz turned a few misfits into a band of loyal followers who would kill for her.
The story is interesting sure, however some typos make it a little distracting at times. It really is more of a summary or just could be labeled as an article instead of a book. I read this in about 10 minutes max.
This is a very disturbing case on many levels. If we murdered everyone who yelled at us, it would be a thinly populated world. It is apparent that what Clara really wanted was her father's money, which now she will never have.
Clara Schwartz created role-playing games to ease her friends into being comfortable killing imaginary figures before convincing them to do it for real.
