On September 6th 1991, the state of South Carolina executed Donald 'Pee Wee' Gaskins in the electric chair. In the year prior to his execution, as he sat in Death Row, he revealed his life story to journalist Wilton Earle. Without remorse, and in graphic detail, he told of the brutality of his childhood and the years in prison and on the streets. He described the escalation pattern of violence that brought him inexorably to the morning when he committed the first in a series of murders of teenage hitchhikers - obsessive random carnage to relieve the rage inside him. He told how this made it easier for him to commit what he called his 'Serious Murders': killing victims he knew, including his family and friends. He held nothing back; recounting each murder in ghastly detail, in his desire to stat the 'final truth' about himself. His story is one of the most chilling you will ever read.
