Reviews"[A] chilling debut...Balascio's blunt, conversational prose allows the horrors of her situation to register without melodrama or overstatement. Readers will be enthralled by this frank and frightening account." --Publishers Weekly, "Balascio's memoir is categorized as true crime, but that does not mean it is not a thriller...Killers' families rarely speak in detail about their loved one's misdeeds, which makes this book a key sociological text, as well as a literary gem. Edwards isn't as famous as, say, Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer, but readers intrigued by the latter two will be just as gripped by Balascio's tale." --Booklist, "[A] chilling debut...Balascio's blunt, conversational prose allows the horrors of her situation to register without melodrama or overstatement. Readers will be riveted by this frank and frightening account." --Publishers Weekly, "A mesmerizing memoir...The details, research, and candor in this highly recommended work will captivate readers, who won't be able to put it down." -- Library Journal , starred review

SynopsisThe untold story behind the hit true crime podcast The Clearing, this unforgettable memoir traces one daughter's moving quest to understand her larger-than-life childhood as she searches for the truth about her father, the serial killer Edward Wayne Edwards. One evening in 2009, April Balascio was searching online, as she had been every night, for unsolved murders in the towns her family had lived growing up, when she stumbled across the latest investigations into the "Sweetheart Murders" cold case. All at once, the buried memories of her father's dark history were awakened, and she knew she had to take action. She picked up the phone to call a detective and the rest is infamous true crime history. In her unflinching memoir, Balascio bravely reveals an astonishing tale of a lifetime of manipulation, unexplained upheavals, and silent fear. Some part of her had always known what her father was capable of, but the full truth of how she came to these revelations is as riveting as it is quietly terrifying. Through searing storytelling, dedicated research, and intimate insight, Raised by a Serial Killer is a gripping, courageous memoir unlike any other., This is a story about a daughter and her father. It's a story about love and betrayal, about lost innocence and violence. It was never a story I wanted to tell, but I feel that now it demands to be told. I was eleven when I came to realize that my father was a bad man, and that he was sometimes a bad father-a really, really bad father. Until then, he as just my dad and I loved him even while I feared his terrifying temper. But it's not that simple, is it? It never is.
