{"product_id":"9781844542376","title":"Monster: My True Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eTold in her own words, this is the story of serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who was portrayed in an Oscar-winning performance by Charlize Theron in the film \u003ci\u003eMonster. \u003c\/i\u003eThere have been few female serial killers, but Aileen Wuornos, who was executed in 2002, was a remarkable example of this rare breed of death row inmate. All too often, female prostitutes have been the victims of male serial killers—Wuornos’ killings were the inverse of this pattern. After escaping an abusive childhood at the hands of her grandparents, she became a child prostitute, progressing into a disastrous adulthood of prostitution and damaging affairs with both men and women. Her eventual metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences—a stream of dead men. This is her story, as told to Christopher Berry-Dee, editor of\u003ci\u003e The New Criminologist\u003c\/i\u003e and director of Britain's Criminology Research Center.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Blake Publishing, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059318735088,"sku":"9781844542376","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781844542376_p0.jpg?v=1763743996","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781844542376","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
