Description

The West Memphis 3 are three teenagers who were convicted of murdering three eight-year-old boys. They just did not fit in: they wore black, listened to heavy metal and read horror novels. They were convicted despite the lack of evidence. This is the first collection of writings in support of these teenage misfits. Collected in this anthology are dark fiction by some of the world's best, case-related essays by observers and participants, lyrics by Metallica, and illustrations by Clive Barker.
