This study investigates how Ullisses Campbell shapes the Women Killers (2023) trilogy by blending documentary rigor with literary imagination. The analysis reveals recurring structures that weave together truth, memory, and testimony. Grounded in official records, the author turns crimes into a narrative axis and uses archetypes to shape his characters. These molds, however, simplify the women portrayed, turning them into symbols that accommodate the unacceptable. The study shows that his narratives dialogue with contemporary true crime, balancing factual information and narrative tension.
