The Hound of Hell: David Berkowitz's Dark Barks
Show Notes
Dearies, listen closely as we unravel the sinister whispers of a man who heeded the devilish commands of a demonic dog.
Once upon a dreadful year, 1977, in the grand city of New York, chaos reigned under the guise of David Berkowitz, better known as the Son of Sam. Charming, canines usually offer their masters nothing but devotion. Yet, imagine the chilling horror when those woofs from a black lab were perceived as the devil’s own symphony, spurring a bloody ballet. Six souls extinguished and seven wounded in a spree, as madness took root in a mind twisted by his beliefs.
This wicked tale unleashes the darkness that bloomed from an ordinary man and a most unusual muse—his neighbor’s dog. But was it truly a fiend with paws or merely the twisted orchestration of a path lost to shadows?
