In answer to your question, I just became interested in Bathory a few months ago. My best friend Chris brought home a magazine called "Gothic Beauty" that had an article about her. Before that, I had never heard of her. I then went on a mass research binge for a few months straight.
During my research at the library, I printed out 2 pages of titles that had Bathory even mentioned in the book. There are a few like the one you speak of. So who knows? Maybe I'll find it. I'll try to find the site link, but there is this Forensics lady who has a section on Crime Libraries online who lives for serial killers. She has a great starter batch of info for Bathory, especially book titles. I know the notebooks thing. My boyfriend was amazed at how fast I kept going through pens. I even had maps and a card catalog for people and places when I started! I've toned it down a bit, now it's mostly in my head. Action figure? Didn't know they had one of those. Does it bite? Hell, I want an iron maiden!
They should spend more time catching criminal instead of making what we watch or take picture of illegal. A friend of mine did a 2 year Federal Holiday because of something he did on line, it was entrapment and now 5 years later he is still trying to get his reputation and life back.
I do find pics with blood unsettling, being a former soldier and seeing blood and death first hand.
I put the photos up for the people who comment on my journal to see me cuz I always get annoyed when the person has no pictures...makes me think their some kind of hideous monster.....I said i was gonna take em down........ STOP OVERANALYZING!!!!!!!
