Un secreto que ahoga la memoria, que oprime, que anula el placer para siempre, que baila al ritmo del miedo y se alimenta de la vergüenza y de la culpa.

Unbeknownst to Rocco at the time, the men who returned his fire were several Boston police officers, waiting in ambush for him. It was, as Rocco later described it, a hastily planned rescue mission that went downhill in a hurry. In the aftermath, his beloved girlfriend and her toddler son lay dead.

Former Virginia Tech English department chair and distinguished professor Lucinda Roy saw the tragedy unfold on the TV screen in her home and had a terrible realization.

Urszenen der Gewalt finden sich bereits in der griechischen Mythologie. Der blutige Streit zwischen Thyestes und Atreus findet seinen Höhepunkt, als letzterer dem Bruder die eigenen Kinder zum Mahl vorsetzt. Als er erkennt, was ihm widerfahren ist, erbricht sich Thyestes und verflucht den Atreus. Mit diesem Zurückholen und Herausschleudern der Gewalt wird ein Mechanismus in Gang gesetzt, der die ganze Sippe in Mitleidenschaft zieht: Aigisthos tötet Atreus, Orest tötet Aigisthos und seine Mutter Klytaimnestra. Auch Homers Ilias stellt von Anfang an den Zorn des Achill als Leitmotiv in den Vordergrund.

In 1949, things like this just didn’t happen: A quiet New Jersey resident took a morning walk with a 9 mm Luger pistol. In twelve minutes he murdered thirteen neighbors...and then went back to bed. Howard Unruh went from obscurity to infamy overnight. Even after his obsessive diaries were discovered - a catalogue of simmering rage, petty grievances, and sexual repression - the anomalous crime seemed incomprehensible. Succeeding decades would confirm that Unruh’s “Walk of Death” was just the beginning. The prototype for the modern mass murderer, he would usher in a new age of violence in America.

I wrote this book for anyone else who is suffering at the hands of a malignant narcissist. I want to offer not only healing words but also guide you through understanding the disorder in order to better help you deal with it.
