Title: The Book of Matt: The Real Story of the Murder of Matthew Shepard Author: Stephen Jimenez Narrator: Paul Fleschner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 30 minutes Release date: November 24, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: “Methamphetamine was a huge part of this case . . . It was a horrible murder driven by drugs.” — Prosecutor Cal Rerucha, who convicted Matthew Shepard's killers On the night of October 6, 1998, twenty-one-year-old Matthew Shepard left a bar with two alleged “strangers,” Aaron McKin­ney and Russell Henderson. Eighteen hours later, Matthew was found tied to a log fence on the outskirts of town, unconscious and barely alive. Overnight, a politically expedient myth took the place of important facts. By the time Matthew died a few days later, his name was synonymous with anti-gay hate. The Book of Matt, first published in 2013, demonstrated that the truth was in fact far more complicated – and daunting. Stephen Jimenez’s account revealed primary documents that had been under seal, and gave voice to many with firsthand knowledge of the case who had not been heard from, including members of law enforcement.   In his Introduction to this updated edition, journalist Andrew Sullivan writes: “No one wanted Steve Jimenez to report this story, let alone go back and back to Laramie, Wyoming, asking awkward questions, puzzling over strange discrepancies, re-interviewing sources, seeking a deeper, more complex truth about the ghastly killing than America, it turned out, was prepared to hear. It was worse than that, actually. Not only did no one want to hear more about it, but many were incensed that the case was being re-examined at all.” As a gay man Jimenez felt an added moral imperative to tell the story of Matthew’s murder honestly, and his reporting has been thoroughly corroborated. “I urge you to read [The Book of Matt] carefully and skeptically,” Sullivan writes, “and to see better how life rarely fits into the neat boxes we want it to inhabit. That Matthew Shepard was a meth dealer and meth user says nothing that bad about him, and in no way mitigates the hideous brutality of the crime that killed him; instead it shows how vulnerable so many are to the drug’s escapist lure and its astonishing capacity to heighten sexual pleasure so that it’s the only thing you want to live for. Shepard was a victim twice over: of meth and of a fellow meth user.”

It was like most other days with arraignments, sentencings, civil case hearings, and the like. People shuffling in and out, everyone taking care of their important business with court appearances, document filings, paying tickets, fines, and bonding loved ones out of jail. I loved my job. It was extremely satisfying and interesting with constant interaction with all walks of life, including people on either end of the judicial spectrum and many in between. Suddenly, there he was. Tall, handsome, and looking so impressive and important in his Michigan State Police uniform with his hat, gun belt, and badge. A powerful man who had chosen a profession to serve and protect. He was extremely friendly and upbeat, smiling profusely. Best of all, he, too, was unattached. What could go wrong? He was like a dream man. We clicked, immediately, and began dating exclusively. But he was not a dream man. He was a nightmare … as I learned over the next twelve years. Twelve years of enduring domestic violence at its absolute worse. Constant abuse, control, manipulation, and threats. Sadistic sexual deviance and sexual violence. It was only going to end one way: someone would die in our bed and someone would go to prison for murder. This is my story about domestic violence, resilience, reckoning, and survival.

Title: [Spanish] - Magnetizado Author: Carlos Busqued Narrator: Juan Benito Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 49 minutes Release date: November 2, 2020 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: A lo largo de una fantasmal semana de septiembre de 1982, se sucedieron en Buenos Aires cuatro asesinatos nocturnos, sobrios en el despliegue y curiosamente idénticos, a tal punto que se podría pensar en un mismo asesinato repetido cuatro veces. La policía buscó al asesino durante casi un mes, de manera tan intensa como inútil. Finalmente resultó ser un postadolescente de diecinueve años. Un muchacho raro y taciturno que, ya detenido, admitió los crímenes y los describió en detalle sin mostrar emoción alguna. No decía incoherencias, no deliraba, no daba la impresión de estar loco. Sin embargo, el acto mismo era lo loco. Los cuatro asesinatos eran tan específicos como carentes de motivo. No había ninguna razón ni secuencia lógica deducible que llevara a las muertes. Personalidad anómala. Trastorno esquizotípico de la personalidad. Síndrome esquizofrénico sobre personalidad psicopática. Trastorno de personalidad antisocial con núcleos esquizoides. Cuadro delirante crónico, compatible con parafrenia o paranoia. Psicópata esquizo perverso histérico. Autista. Estabilizado. Preso. Aquel muchacho raro de 1982 es hoy un hombre mayor que parece más un empleado público que un asesino en serie. En este libro, ese hombre habla con un escritor en el hospital psiquiátrico del complejo penal de Ezeiza. La conversación visita la nebulosa época de los crímenes y recorre distintos momentos de una historia llena de piezas faltantes, con una variable siempre presente: la extrañeza. Construido a partir de grabaciones de entrevistas, documentos forenses y recortes de diarios, Magnetizado es un texto raro y difícil de clasificar. Evita la interpretación y el juicio, dejando espacio para lo único que puede acercarnos a comprender la naturaleza de los crímenes: la voz de su protagonista. Acompañado por esa voz, el lector cruza la puerta del asesinato múltiple y se instala en la perturbadora habitación vacía que hay al otro lado.
