Abstract

The article discusses the notorious serial killer Donald Henry Gaskins, who is known for carrying out two separate series of murders. The first series was characterized by acts of torture, rape, and killing motivated by pure sadism, where Gaskins targeted men, women, and children indiscriminately. This already set him apart from other serial killers. The second series of killings was driven by personal hatred, where he murdered individuals he held a grudge against. Gaskins' case is highlighted as unusual in the annals of serial killers due to the distinct motivations behind his crimes and his lack of preference for any specific type of victim. The article suggests that the monstrous nature of Gaskins' actions has inspired the author's own writing about serial killers, indicating that real-life murderers can serve as muses for fictional works.
