He directed his men (mostly young girls) to commit murders that shocked the world. Its cruelty and bizarreness have become the source of countless books, films, and musical works. This book was unanimously selected as the "Best Book of the Year" by 18 authoritative media including the Washington Post, and was shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Best First Novel.
