I don't want to ruin it in case some of you actually plan to read the entire thing, such as I did, but yeah. He bought a motel, solely to spy on guests for their sexual adventures, and was never caught. He ended up seeing plenty of sex, but a lot, lot, lot, lot more than that. I even feel he was responsible for some of things that occurred there.

As disturbing as it is, and as horrible of a human that I think he is...it's one of the most interesting things I've ever read. He really had a Jack Nicholson seat to reality that nobody else will ever have.

Jeepers creepers that's long!

I'll check it out. Admittedly, I've always wanted to catch a free show. After all, I've given others plenty. This seems a tad excessive though.

The attic was an extension of our bedroom.” When Donna was not with him on the viewing platform, he said, he would either mastur-bate ...


Every motel patron's worst nightmare. A random dude is watching you while mastur-bating.

999, don't be THAT guy...
