Because it’s about a woman who said “no.” A woman who turned a horror story into a badge of honor.
It’s also about a killer so arrogant, he painted his murders. Like a twisted version of Bob Ross—“happy little accidents” not included.
And the detectives? They called him the “Canal Killer” because he dumped bodies in waterways. Not original, but effective.
The Lesson
Don’t date someone who keeps a diary of “dead” friends. Also, trust your gut. Delia ignored hers for two years.
But she got her revenge: she outlived him. She’s still painting, still talking, and still scaring people with her story. In the best way.
So next time you see a cute artist at a pub, ask for his portfolio. You never know what you’ll find.
John Sweeney may be locked up. But Delia Balmer? She’s out there, living her best life. And that’s the fun part.
