if I were to write a book from the perspective of a deranged man killing women, how do I make it more than just edgy trash? how to make it good?

Do it well

Make it an autobiography

Don't do it. There are far too many of these books that women in their forties read for some kind of sexual reason I don't understand. E.g. I read one about a murderer nicknamed 'the butcher of sligo' who was a real butcher and killed women by butchering them and taking pictures of them and showing those pictures to new victims before he fucked them and slashed them up and took photos of them, etc, etc

Be as offensive (but not performative) and honest as possible

Read Catcher in the Rye. Read Huckleberry Finn. Read Moby Dick. Then read anything else that's in the canon after that and also make sure to go outside and socialize, but not too much. Fully commit to writing about a deranged man killing women and make sure it sounds convincing enough. Do NOT read My Twisted World. Read Notes from the Underground.

NO. NO. NO. YOU NEED TO TURN THIS TROPE, CLICHE TRASH ON ITS HEAD. IF YOU WERE TO WRITE ABOUT A DOMINATRIX WHO KILLS HER SCRAWNY CUSTOMERS FOR KINKS, I'D READ IT. IN FACT, I MAY CUM.

Start here. He's the guy that started providing a psychological profile of serial killers. If you want to make it some "American Psycho" meme go ahead. But if you want your character to resemble an actual serial killer do some research. It's very US oriented so

Put in lots of "yeah!" and "and then"s.

write something else instead. transgressive fiction is boring

no no write a story about a deranged guy who brings women back to life by fucking them, he's an evil perv but every time he sneaks into the morgue and hammers some refrigerated punani the next day the papers have a story about a living person accidentally sent to the morgue

i have such extreme paranoia that just seeing some shit about elite fbi crime units triggers me just imagining a bunch of clintonite fbi dudes dedicated to tracking down pepeposters trying to frame us as russians and nazis, i think i need to stop using the internet

But user, that stuff is real. I had my phones tapped for a good month thanks to 1 tweet during the campaign.

It will have the opposite effect. The FBI guy is kind of boring actually. It will humanize you to the fact that he's a pretty bright guy but is just some mundane office dweller that has a pretty fucked up job.

Assuming that the FBI has the resources or is even competent enough to track every Veeky Forums poster is ridiculous.

You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Also see A Clockwork Orange for ideas.

>Assuming that the FBI has the resources or is even competent enough to track every Veeky Forums poster is ridiculous.

oh god i hope ur right for all our sake, but i'm sure ppl said "i'm sure those new computers hitler bought from ibm can't track EVERY jew in germany!"

I've read clockwork orange, but my idea for the book was for a man who fucked a woman he didnt love for a while became addicted to sex while being in love with another woman, who wanted to fuck him, but he fucked it up, and then he drifted off in weird places, in isolation, slowly descending into insanity and in drug+porn binges, starts having dreams of killing women

durr how do i be talented

lol wow you guys just got put on lists? very cool, welcome to the club friend

Oh you're tracked, but you're not a big enough problem for them to deal with.

This
Canon will give you plot and writing ideas, Notes will make sure your story isn't pure edgy garbage. If you have a self-reflective and obstinately miserable protagonist like the UDG Man it could be good

You can also read Ted Kacysnski, Anders Breivik, and Elliot Rodger. It gives you a peek into the thought process of a crazy person.

I don't think you get what the last guy said. He is referring you to the book American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis. In other words, he is saying that your concept model has been done by someone who is probably a better writer than you.

Your aim is also partially espoused by Bteman's character, dumped, drifted, drifts back in. The whole time drift aspect especially helps.

>I really think that Clockwork Orange recommendation is the literary equivalent of a pity fuck.
