An extract from 'Meat: Memoirs of a Psychopath' had been published previously by the UK journal Personality and Mind on the 3rd November 2011; the professional, subscription-only magazine of the mental health community. During my downtime (the usual coffee and cigarette following one particularly trying day) I had read the extract 'In Finding a Victim'. I read it from professional curiosity only. But what I read filled me with disbelief, and I was driven by curiosity to obtain a complete copy of the memoirs.

The covering letter attached to the memoir cover read... ''Believe me, I have no interest in what you think of me. I have no interest in you at all, in your mundane, boring life or your petty little day-to-day jobs. I have only interest in telling you my story.
