The first image is of the cover of the Big Book of Granny, which Sandy Hook school shooter Adam Lanza helped write and illustrate when he was in fifth grade. It appears to be the earliest example of Lanza’s writing that had a violent theme. In the book, “Granny” talks about killing children
.
State police released excerpts of the granny book when they completed their investigation into the massacre. They included parts of a chapter where a character named Dora the Beserker enters a daycare center with Granny and her son. Dora at one point says to Granny, “Let’s hurt children.”
It is unclear if anyone saw the book at the time it was written. But the entire book is 52 pages and depicts much more violence than the snippets that state police released. O’Toole noted there are violent references throughout the document.

There’s a chapter where Granny slaughters people on the set of “Granny’s Clubhouse of Happy Children” and another that references a game called “Hide and Go Die.” In another chapter Dora says she likes hurting people – especially children.
