The Chrysalis Books, Reviews, and Everything Written (BREW) Project has announced that Frederick Douglass Reynolds' gripping true crime narrative, Saint Bloodbath, has been named the August 2024 BREW Readers' Choice Award Book of the Month winner. This chilling recount of the 2008 massacre in a Los Angeles homeless encampment has enthralled readers and cemented Reynolds' place as a master of the true crime genre. The book has joined the elite list of BREW Seal of Excellence recipients and bagged the BREW Nonfiction Book Excellence Award 2024 True Crime Book of the Year title. 

Saint Bloodbath takes readers deep into the heart of one of Los Angeles' most harrowing real-life horror stories and exposes the brutal realities faced by the city's most vulnerable. With his trademark gritty style, Reynolds sheds light on the underbelly of society as he explores the complex lives of those often overlooked by mainstream narratives. 

This accolade is the latest in a string of honours for Reynolds, whose previous work, Black, White, and Gray All Over: A Black Man’s Odyssey in Life and Law Enforcement, earned him widespread acclaim. That book not only won the BREW Readers' Choice Award for April 2022 but also went on to secure the Book of the Year title for 2023-2024. Additionally, it also received the BREW Seal of Excellence and the BREW Book Excellence Award 2023 for Memoir, Biography, or Autobiography of the Year, Non-fiction of the Year, and the coveted Book of the Year award.

The BREW Readers’ Choice Award is a monthly and annual celebration of literature, where readers determine the most beloved books, blogs, and poetry. Book of the Month winners, like Saint Bloodbath, automatically contend for the prestigious Reader’s Choice of the Year Awards, highlighting exceptional literary works. Embodying the spirit of democracy in literary accolades, BREW empowers readers to recognise and champion books that resonate with them. With readers as the judges, each vote reflects the profound impact of a book on individual readers, uniting a global community of book enthusiasts. Winning the BREW Readers’ Choice Award signifies more than critical acclaim—it symbolises a book’s profound connection with its readers and its place in their literary journey. Ultimately, this award celebrates the democratic essence of literature, honouring the diverse tastes and preferences of readers worldwide.

Reynolds, a former law enforcement officer with over three decades of experience, draws upon his unique insights into the criminal justice system and his personal experiences to deliver narratives that are as informative as they are engaging. His background includes overcoming homelessness on the streets of Los Angeles and serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, experiences that enrich his writing with authenticity and depth.

Saint Bloodbath is already being hailed as a must-read for true crime enthusiasts, with readers and critics alike praising Reynolds' ability to combine meticulous research with compelling storytelling.
