The Crimes of Daniel Gonzalez

De: Mark Stokes

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

In the grim backdrop of 1980s London, a glib young man with a vaunted love of horror and heavy metal unleashed a chilling spree of violence that would terrify a city. The Horror Movie Killer uncovers the true story of Daniel Gonzalez—a man whose fascination with dark cinema and gothic imagery steeled him for murder. Under the cover of night he struck at the vulnerable, creating a path of devastation that seemed ripped from the screen, and leaving communities reeling for answers.

Through painstaking research, court documents and witness statements, this book brings you inside the investigation that would expose his monstrous acts. You’ll follow detectives grappling with overlapping clues, victims struggling for survival, and the forensic breakthroughs that finally exposed Gonzalez’s trail of death. With each chapter the tension ratchets up—from the moment the first body was found to the dramatic arrest and courtroom revelations, you’ll feel the pulse of a hunt that pushed the limits of policing and public fear.

But this is more than a catalogue of horror—it is a study of cultural obsession, identity and the failings of institutions that should protect the innocent. The Horror Movie Killer explores how a man shaped by horror-laced fantasies translated them into real-life brutality, and how a society hampered by under-resourced safeguards and misjudged youth overlooked the warning signs. For readers of immersive, emotionally rich true-crime who seek more than gore—who want insight, tension and accountability—this book delivers a haunting story that lingers long after the final page is turned.

Please note: This series includes realistic and sometimes disturbing accounts of violent crimes, including cases involving children and animals. It is intended for mature readers.
