A captivating, eloquent and deeply original book, We All Go into
the Dark is an absolute must-read for true-crime fans across the
board. Three women were brutally murdered between early 1968 and
late 1969, each after a night dancing at Glasgow’s infamous
Barrowland Ballroom. Their murders were linked and ascribed to the
spectre of the well-dressed, scripture-quoting killer who had
apparently stalked the city’s dancehalls. The figure was never
caught or identified. But the intervening years spawned a legend
that never quite lost its grip on the popular imagination of
Glasgow. The killings provoked the country’s largest ever
manhunt, as well as countless suspects, books, documentaries,
earnest speculation, pub theorising and bouts of urban mythmaking.
In We All Go into the Dark, Francisco Garcia delves into how Bible
John has morphed across generations, interrogates our collective
obsession with ‘solving’ historic crimes and questions why some
killings are forgotten with indecent haste and why others are never
permitted to be forgotten at all.
