Here's a good one - a real live human being said this by the way - Tamara has an altar to Richard in her bedroom. She supposedly sleeps in a coffin and has had her canine teeth filed into points. As if that's not enough I'll go on. Died at age 53 but he deserved to die earlier as his prison time was actually quite pleasant to him because of all the insane women who sent him nudes and letters, so much so that he had no room in his cell for all of them so he had to get people to put them into storage for him.

[ citation needed] The first half of the book is great, following the 13 murders and couple of near fatal rape-assaults of Richard Ramirez in LA in 1984-1985. Though some might find him a more dynamic or interesting serial killer because of his allegiance to Satan; I find him more boring and more of a coward than most psychopath serial killers. The author Carlo pushes his oxymoronic subtle sermons (views/themes) all too often and almost seems to make excuses for how Ramirez came about. Richard hit his head and had epileptic fits when he was a boy. The government tested atomic bombs in New Mexico and the fallout effected all their children, some physical, maybe some mental. Richard witnessed a murder at 12. His dad yelled at him and had rage. His brothers were a bad influence. In fact, the only avenue in which Carlo doesn't exploit is Ramirez possibly being possessed (because I'm sure he doesn't himself believe in Heaven or Hell), which is surprising because of all the sensational roots to a serial killer demonic possession has the most appeal. Also, it wouldn't be far fetched because Richard believed Satan would protect him, drew pentagrams at some of the scenes of the crime, and made the victims he raped and murdered continuously swear to Satan as opposed to God.A comic book based on the property was published in 2003 by Moonstone Books, with some commercial success. Moonstone continues to publish both a bimonthly serial magazine and a series of prose novels and graphic novels featuring the characters. Moonstone also adapted Rice's original The Night Stalker script as well as two unfilmed scripts for the TV series: "The Get of Belial" and "Eve of Terror".

I think I was more surprised that he was STILL alive after being sentenced to death, than the letters actually. Because he was so famous, and most famous serial killers were already dead by the time I found out about them. So it was like a weird timeline crossover experience, if that makes sense.
