Project Gutenberg 2010-02-08 Public domain in the USA. 86 Peirce, Earl The Homicidal Diary Produced by Greg Weeks, Dan Horwood and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Homicidal Diary" by Earl Peirce, Jr. is a crime fiction narrative likely written during the early 20th century. The book delves into the dark and complex realm of the human psyche, exploring themes of madness, obsession, and the supernatural influence of a cursed artifact. It follows the unsettling story of Jason Carse, a respected criminologist who becomes embroiled in a series of gruesome murders that he unknowingly commits, guided by the sinister legacy of a murderer's diary. The plot centers around Carse, who, after discovering the diary of Emil Drukker—a notorious head-hunter—finds himself irresistibly drawn into a cycle of committing murders on a weekly basis. As the narrative unfolds, Carse's friend, who recounts this horrifying tale, becomes increasingly alarmed at Carse's deteriorating mental state as he grapples with the horrifying implications of his actions. Each murder mirrors the events chronicled in Drukker's diary, suggesting a demonic connection between Carse and the deceased killer. The climax builds to a moment of intense confrontation, where Carse must confront both his madness and the stark reality of his crimes, ultimately leading to his tragic fate. Through vivid storytelling, the book raises profound questions about the nature of evil and the potential for darkness within us all.
