The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy

5.0

I love James Ellroy, just based on this first book I've read of his but also seeing him on his cable specials like 'LA: City of Demons' and 'James' Ellroy's Feast of Death' and seeing him on Conan O'brien in a Youtube clip, and watching 'L.A. Confidential' before I knew anything about him and after. His personal story is tragic and his writing comes directly from that and it is not second hat, he writes amazingly and passionately and brings creativity from darkness. I admire him and have enjoyed everything I've encountered of his and would love to read more.
