Horror Writer Takes Research Too Far

Would-be horror writer Jose Luis Calva was arrested in Mexico City when police investigating the disappearance of his girlfriend discovered her dismembered body in his apartment:

Jose Luis Calva told police he had boiled some of his girlfriend's flesh but that he hadn't eaten it, the spokesman said.

The official also confirmed other details released by the prosecutor's office Wednesday night: that body parts were spread throughout the apartment, and that Calva is being investigated in the deaths of three women whose mutilated bodies had been found in and around the capital.

How soon before someone gobbles up the film rights to this?

Some stories just write themselves.

on behalf of writers everywhere -- elevating this guy to 'would be horror writer' status is a bit much. could we just regard him as a very unfortunate sick individual and lose the association to writers (horror or otherwise) along with the attendant implications?

how about: man (who happens to know how to read and write) arrested for...etc

now, if you'll excuse me, i have a wicked scary screenplay to work on...then perhaps i'll cook some dinner

Now you've gone way too far Mr. Calva.You just boiled her, and you didn't eat the body parts?? Maybe you're full from your prior slaughter with the other girls'! You shouldn't be allowed near any girls anymore. The mexican jailer should just throw away the key. Adios!

This 'kickdirtball gutter alcoholic slicer' is worthless and should be hanged Mexican style ... this gives all artists a bad light whether writers or painters. My God how did that poor woman end up with such a cumbucket?
