The August 2024 BREW Readers’ Choice Award Book of the Month goes to Saint Bloodbath by Frederick Douglass Reynolds. This nerve-wracking narrative recounts the mindless massacre that shocked a Los Angeles homeless encampment in 2008. Reynolds, a seasoned author and former law enforcement officer, delivers a bone-chilling account that will send readers reeling. His gritty portrayal of a real-life horror, intertwined with the dark realities of society’s underbelly, makes Saint Bloodbath a must-read for true crime enthusiasts. The book is also a recipient of the BREW Seal of Excellence and the BREW Nonfiction Book Excellence Award 2024 True Crime Book of the Year.
Frederick Douglass Reynolds is no stranger to accolades. His previous work, Black, White, and Gray All Over: A Black Man’s Odyssey in Life and Law Enforcement, garnered multiple honors, including the BREW Readers’ Choice Award Book of the Month for April 2022 and Book of the Year for 2023-2024. Additionally, it earned the BREW Seal of Excellence as well as the BREW Book Excellence Award for Memoir, Biography, or Autobiography of the Year, Non-fiction of the Year, and Book of the Year.
Congratulations to Frederick Douglass Reynolds for continuing to fascinate readers and for another well-deserved recognition!

I had the pleasure of reviewing Frederick Douglass Reynolds’s last award-winning novel, which changed the way I understood racist issues. I’m sure this one is just as enlightening. Congratulations!
