What True Crime Book Totally Fascinated You?

Because there's more to true crime than documentaries.

While true crime stories are undoubtedly terrifying, a lot of them are also horribly fascinating.

We've covered your documentary needs, and now we'd like to hear about the best true crime ~books~ you've ever read.

Maybe you were fascinated by Life After Death, the story of Damien Echols, who as a teenager was wrongfully convicted for the murders of three eight-year-old boys and put on Death Row.

Or maybe you've read Helter Skelter, the true story of the Charles Manson murders, written by the prosecutor in Manson's trial.

Tell us which true crime book you'd recommend and why, and your submission could be featured in a future BuzzFeed Community post!
