| I read a book about ten years ago, when I was in my early teens called The Dumb House, which was kind of similar only almost more fucked up. It was about this guy who gets obsessed with how language develops so basically a) starts torturing mute kids and b)decides to raise his own set of twins in silence. They develop their own language aged about 5, so he tortures them and kills them. It kind of put me off the whole "parents murdering children" genre. |
