In Cold Blood (Modern Library 100 Best Nonfiction Books)

And he really did invent this genre. What does he call it? It's truthful. It's written like fiction, but it's a real story.

Yeah. And he did it from, like, the dual perspectives as well, which was so interesting. Right. For a true crime book.

So you get the perspective of the Clutter family and then you get the perspective of Hickok and Perry. And, of course, it's Truman Capote. So it's some of the best writing you'll ever come across.

And one of the things that freaked me out was the randomness of it.

And there's also Richard Eugene Hitchcock in Cold Blood and of course the Bloody Benders.

In this case, in the town they were in, there were two films that were in theaters. There was Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, and then there was kind of a rom-com, and I can't recall the name of that one.

But what they found is that after this murder occurred, the students on the campus were much more likely to choose the scary film as a reward for taking part in a study.

In Cold Blood, one of the most successful true crime novels of all time.

In Truman Capote's book, In Cold Blood, he describes her very negatively, saying that she was riddled with mental illnesses.

I know who she was. Other people don't because of that book.

He chopped her head off slowly. You want to hear it like that? Fine dateline. Go ahead. You can go to the bar, get a crock of it, knock yourself out. But that's not...

Keith Morrison does an amazing job at narrating that horrible shit. Fantastic. But he's not funny. But he's not funny at all. And we're going to do... We're going to horrify you and make you laugh. He's funny for the wrong reasons.

He's funny because his face looks like an old man's nut sack.

I have read true crime all my life, since finding In Cold Blood at a used bookstore when I was about nine and reading it, not so secretly.

I'm gonna guess In Cold Blood.

I urge anybody that has never read in cold blood to go read this book specifically because of the forensics Capote did such a fantastic job and you know giving such a great description of this horrible scene where this family was absolutely butchered Not too dissimilar from what happened in Piketon only it happened in one single home in Kansas all those years back

In cold blood is a nonfiction novel by author Truman Capote that was published in 1966 It details the 1959 murders of the clutter family in small-town, Kansas

And you might have read this book in high school or have heard of it it's really one of the first true crime stories that people sank their teeth into and I would surmise that any True crime TV series or podcast or documentary Really should give some credit to this one because without it. I don't think the genre would be what it is

There are actually a lot of parallels between the Piketon massacre and the clutter of family murders one at the family aspect Also to the brutality three the victims being shot in the head and just the sheer amount of bloodshed It's chilling for those of you who aren't familiar with the story

A lot of creepy stuff went on with this case. Anyway, he was executed down there Perry who was one of the killers was wearing a boot that had been resold and this boot when you hear this name This this name in forensic parlance. It's a benchmark moment. It's called a cat paw print When he stepped on that box He transferred a print to that box With his boot that had transferred from blood onto the surface and it left that cat paw print

Well, we've all read or heard of the book In Cold Blood. This was cold, cold, cold blood. I mean, this was calculated, planned out. And it just, you know, I mean, it just chills you to think about the calculation that goes into something like this.

Oh, he goes shit true The Truman Capote in cold blood okay, and cold blood I'm listening to in cold blood and he read the books Truman did okay

Who is reading the audiobook and he's like? Oh, I don't know I can check and then he checks And it's some actor and I said when your dad does odd when I do my books

I read my audiobooks. You know, but I know Truman Capote's not reading this audiobook But maybe I heard him a recording of him reciting this anyway, maybe that's from a reading he did at a college

He wrote breakfast at Tiffany's in cold blood.

This takes place between like 1958 and 1984 about this writer's life. He was gay and at the time, I guess you couldn't be out but basically he was out as a gay man and he makes friends with the, he seeks out the wealthiest socialites that women just admire, great fashion, great. And befriends them and then horribly betrays them by making up lies about a couple of them but then also sharing their secrets in an article that he puts out without warning or anything.
