The Demon Next Door
Synopsis
The Demon Next Door is Bryan Burrough's investigation into a serial killer hiding in plain sight in his own hometown of Temple, Texas. Danny Corwin, a former classmate of Burrough's, raped and mutilated six women and murdered three of them — and for years, the town around him failed to notice or act.
Burrough, a veteran investigative journalist known for Barbarians at the Gate, Public Enemies and The Big Rich, turns his reporting on his own community, asking why local media ignored early assaults, why a Presbyterian church tried to shield Corwin from prosecution, and why law enforcement struggled for so long to stop him. The result is as much a story of small-town Texas politics and institutional denial as it is a true-crime narrative.
Produced as a short Audible Original, the audiobook runs roughly two to three hours and carries a content warning for physical and sexual violence.
