Books on Mass Shootings That Don’t Look Away
A School Shooting Survivor Story That Cuts Deeper
Confessions of a Mass Shooter isn’t just a novel. It’s a hard, unsettling look inside a mass shooter’s mind, not to excuse, but to understand. Out of all the books on mass shootings, this one dares to step into the silence most stories avoid.
This book feels like a mass shooter memoir, written with the rawness of someone who’s seen too much and stayed quiet for too long. The character isn’t a monster from the start. He’s built slowly, painfully, by trauma, isolation, and missed warning signs.
If you’ve ever wondered what leads someone down this path or how it could’ve been stopped, this story won’t give easy answers. But it will make you think. It reads more like a shooter confession book than fiction. And honestly, that’s what makes it hit so hard.
Inspired by real cases, behavioral research, and survivor realities, it bridges fact and fiction in a way few mass shooting survivor memoirs attempt.
Ronald G. Mazzella brings the weight of real questions and lived experience to every page. This isn’t just storytelling, it’s a gut check.
If you’re drawn to books on mass shootings that actually ask why, or searching for a school shooting survivor story that lingers long after the final page, Confessions of a Mass Shooter is the one.
It’s not just a shooter confession book. It’s a mirror.

“A Brief History of a Perfect Future”
““A Brief History of a Perfect Future” presents us with a rare gift in this era of pervasive negativity, anonymous grousing, and divisiveness. It offers a positive and optimistic view of our future, grounded in facts and the lessons of history. It is both inspirational and aspirational on how we can be proactive to make this vision a reality. Highly recommended! Reading it should put a spring in your step and a smile on your face!””

FAQ's
Is this book based on real events?
It pulls from real cases and deep research. Unlike most books on mass shootings, this one blends fact and fiction in a way that feels disturbingly real.
Why read this if I already know how these stories end?
Because it’s not about the ending. This book asks the harder question: how did it even get there? That’s what sets it apart from other books on mass shootings.
Is this story graphic or sensationalized?
Not at all. It’s honest. It focuses on the emotional and mental breakdown, not the body count. It makes you sit with the discomfort, not look away.
