Here’s a pretty messed up idea: you’re born via C-section after being two weeks overdue, your mom dies when you’re 5 and the grandfather that raises you is abusive and accuses you of having the devil inside you. Why? Because you were born in a hospital bed next to a shot up serial who died seconds before your birth.
Willie Kestler was so messed up that he began thinking he was the reincarnation of sexual sadist Russell Smith, and then he decided to start killing the people he believed were the reincarnation of Smith’s victims, you know, before they could get revenge on him. If that wasn’t nutty enough, he subscribed to theory of resurrection that said that the soul of the departed jumps into the nearest newly born lifef orm, so he brings insect larvae to all his kills.
In the end, Kestler died how he lived, shot dead next to a bug.
