Ian Brady

Ian Brady, born Ian Duncan Stewart on January 2, 1938, in Glasgow, Scotland, is a British serial killer and author.

The Gates of Janus

In 2001, Feral House, an underground publishing house based in Los Angeles, published Brady's book, The Gates of Janus, in which he examines the cases of a number of serial killers (including Peter Sutcliffe, Ted Bundy, and John Wayne Gacy) and theorises how to catch them. He also investigates the nature of good and evil, morality, and human depravity. He did not, however, attempt to look into the nature of his own crimes. The book offers graphic, subjective detail of some of modernity's most notorious crimes. If the philosophical views expressed in this book were written by a recognised academic in the field, they would be respected as learned and intellectual. The fact that Mr Brady himself has killed for some is enough to dismiss the book as a psychotic ranting, but it remains a very astute observation that should receive a more even examination. It features an introduction by noted criminologist and occult author Colin Wilson, and an afterword by infamous lustmord author and social critic Peter Sotos.
