Confessions of a Mass Shooter
Inside the fractured mind of Peyton Huberty, a war rages—one he can no longer control. On a sweltering summer afternoon, a prestigious university becomes the backdrop for a tragedy that shocks the nation. But was it madness, or something far more sinister?
As Peyton recovers from a failed suicide attempt, he finds himself shackled to a hospital bed, facing the weight of his actions. A team of doctors and attorneys uncover a disturbing truth—a malignant brain tumor, nestled deep within the regions governing impulse and rage. Could this tumor have dictated his actions? Was he ever truly in control?
From the harrowing courtroom battles to the suffocating walls of a prison cell, Confessions of a Mass Shooter takes readers on a chilling journey through the mind of a man both victim and villain. As his trial looms, the ultimate question remains: Does Peyton deserve mercy… or execution?
Gripping, unsettling, and psychologically intense, this novel will leave readers questioning the thin line between sanity and culpability.
