The even more interesting thing was that the author lived upstairs from Cruise while writing the book and was deeply closeted at the time, using the exploits of what he thought about his downstairs neighbor as a proxy for the all American pretty boy psycho all the while folks had thought the author was writing from his own experience (not the murders…maybe the murders). So…kinda worked out for everyone to use Cruise.
Though what is even more interesting is that the author admitted some time ago he was the one that originally spread the rumors about Cruise being the closeted one because he was a little jealous. Which is kinda petty, but kinda funny. Still one of my favorite authors!
