Thorton - Makitia Thompson

He doesn't confess.
He corrects.

For decades, Gregg Thorton lived many lives under many names; husband, father, neighbor, provider. A man who blended in so completely that no one questioned the structure he built behind closed doors.

Until everything burned.

Thorton is not a true confession. It is something far more disturbing.

Told entirely in Gregg's own voice, this fictional memoir forces readers inside the mind of a man who never believed he was wrong. A man who reframes violence as discipline, control as love, and murder as necessity.

From his first kill at six years old to the marriages that defined and destroyed, entire families, Gregg walks you through the life he insists was lived correctly.

He does not ask for forgiveness.
He does not seek understanding.

He offers you his truth.

And dares you to prove him wrong.

As Cole King prepares to tell his story through the upcoming documentary Obedient: Masks and Murders, Gregg takes control of the narrative one last time, revealing just enough to disturb, manipulate, and linger long after the final page.

Because the most terrifying part of Gregg Thorton isn't what he did.

It's that he still believes he was right.

This is a work of fiction inspired by true crime themes.
