YA or Grisly Real-Life Murderer?

I LOVE that YA is dealing with seriously dark stuff lately--psychological struggles teens might face, traumatic events...

...and, of course, serial murderers.

I know I was most deeply in my James Patterson/let's read about a gruesome torturer phase around age 12-13; it shouldn't be particularly surprising that there's a thriving subgenre of YA that's about grisly, HBO-worthy murders.

But can you tell which stories are fiction and which are (horrifyingly) true?

See you you do! (And make sure to scroll down slowly so you don't spoiler yourself!)
