"I think every parent should read this book so they can be made aware of what could happen not only in how they
raise their children but be sure they know who their kids are hanging around with.  I wonder if there could have
been anything that could have "turned the tide" so to speak for David?  I like to think so, but guess we could be
kept guessing on that one for a mighty long time!!!!"

"That is eerie! Not only did I feel like I was there in every moment, but I constantly felt chills, and the little hairs on
my neck stood on end because I truly felt like I was inside David’s head. Other books I have read on serial killers
have been great with facts, details and creative writing, but the eerie psychological plane Mrs. Maust used in
narrating most of her book overwhelmed all of those other aspects and left me enthralled. It’s strange and
emotional but an overall brilliant read!”

"Wow! What a psychological thriller!

"Kudos!"

- Frances Hughes, North Carolina


"This could almost be labeled a horror story in a lot of respects. Very creative writing, suspenseful and thrilling.

"I loved it."

- Steve F., Washington D.C.


"I just want to thank you for this endeavor that you have done by writing and telling (us) about David Maust.  I never
had the opportunity of meeting him, although I had heard a little of him years ago.  David was almost like a
stranger to that part of the family.

"This book tells so much and (it's) so vivid; it's like you are there and he's talking to you.  I can almost feel his pain.
 My heart goes out to these families and I am sure of the pain they have and will always have.  I pray for their
comfort and peace.
If I lost a child like they have, I would be bitter but this book kind of puts closure to the deaths of their children.

"I thank you Dory for putting yourself in the position to do this project, to open the closed eyes and minds of so
many including us.

"You never know unless you are told.

"It's so sad; I have cried so much reading this, thinking of a small child that never grew up on the inside of this
man, never feeling love, and what he felt was love was nothing but abuse to satisfy another sick soul.  I pray that
this will get in the hands of the right people and that some day, things like what happened to David, will not be
pushed under the carpet.

"It's way overdue with much blood shed and grief for so many."

- Donna Fleming, Pennsylvania

"Blood Stained is a very intriguing book that is very well written and thought out. I didn't want to put it down. David
Maust was a monster (and) he even admitted this very fact. What shocked me about the book, is that even though
he was a monster, I felt great empathy for him. This book made me analyze everything that I taught my own
children. David Maust could have been a great asset to society and what scares me about this book is that it could
so easily happen to anyone. I have read many books about serial killers and this author was one of the best at
making the reader understand the mindset of David Maust."

"As a native of Hammond, Indiana where the serial killer chronicled in this biography murdered his last three
victims, I was shocked when he was arrested in 2003. I didn't know any of the victims, but my home town was in
an uproar and I stayed abreast of any new development in the news. I used to be an avid reader, and I'm sorry to
say that with life being as busy as it's been, that slipped to the back of my priorities. "Blood Stained" changed that.

"When I read this book I couldn't put it down. Mrs. Maust, who is not related to the killer David Maust, used a
completely different approach to writing a biography and I loved it. She also did her research 120% and some of
what I learned in her book about our system failures and the media lies just blew me away."
