Born Breathing Poison: How America's Industrial Towns Raised a Generation of Killers

Why did the Pacific Northwest become America's deadliest breeding ground?
And what if serial killers weren't just born but built, poisoned, and shaped by the very air they breathed?

In Born Breathing Poison: How America's Industrial Towns Raised a Generation of Killers, the question isn't just who committed the crimes but why so many, and why there.

Ted Bundy grew up near one of the most toxic smelters in the country. The Green River Killer stalked the same polluted terrain. For decades, towns across Washington and Oregon quietly released arsenic, lead, and other poisons into the soil, the water, and the lungs of their youngest residents. As crime skyrocketed and bodies piled up, no one thought to connect the dots.

Until now.

Step into the fog-choked streets of 1970s Tacoma. Witness a child play near industrial runoff, unaware that the damage to his brain has already begun. Meet communities where violence didn't erupt overnight but was silently cultivated by decades of environmental neglect, corporate greed, and government inaction.

Through gripping case studies, hard science, and unflinching storytelling, Born Breathing Poison uncovers the forgotten link between environmental collapse and psychological violence. This isn't another book about murder it's a chilling account of how society helped create its monsters... and looked away when they emerged.

You won't read true crime the same way again.

If you want to understand the roots of American violence not just the killers, but the systems that made them this book will change the way you see the past, and what still lingers in the present.
