Ian Brady, who, with Myra Hindley, committed the Moors Murders in 1960s Manchester, is due to release "The Gates of Janus." The book, according to a current article on Salon.com ("A serial killer analyzes serial killing" by Stephen Lemons, Jan. 2, 2002) appears to be Brady's "Mein Kamf" in a fashion: a pastiche of pathology, psychology, philosophy, and autobiography, all in the service of justifying his crimes. The Moors Murders are the subject of The Smiths' "Suffer Little Children," which is cited on the third page of the article. The article is also interesting for almost, in its own way, paying guarded homage to the intellectual and literary cachet of Brady and Hindley's crimes. It's a good window into what may have fascinated young Morrissey, as well as many others.
