The story you are about to hear is taken from Art’s personal book that he wrote for Tony; “Growing Up In The House of Sin” or as we like to call it “The Making of a Serial Killer.” 

• This story is a classic case of nurturing, a primer, if you will, on how to create one fucked up child and turn him into an animal. 
• Art’s family and then the military did one hell of a job creating the monster that Arthur John Shawcross became.Then they turned him loose to walk among us. This is the story of his road to hell, as told by Shawcross himself.  
• The information we’re going to present today is uncomfortable.  It's a subject that is both uncomfortable to talk about and uncomfortable to hear. We’re talking about incest, incest between a mother and son and incest between a brother and his sisters. 
• This is the shocking story of Art Shawcross’ childhood as told by him. These are the building blocks of who he was to become as they began to be assembled at an early age.
