John Holmes was one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. He is believed to have murdered over 200 people, mostly young women, in the 1970s and 1980s. Holmes was a charismatic and handsome man, and he used his charm to lure his victims to their deaths. He would often meet them at bars or clubs, and then take them back to his apartment or motel room. Once there, he would torture and kill them, often in gruesome ways.

Holmes's crimes were particularly shocking because he was so well-known and respected in the pornography industry. He was one of the most popular porn stars of the 1970s, and he starred in over 2,000 films. His fans were horrified to learn that he was also a serial killer.

Holmes was eventually arrested in 1981, and he was sentenced to death in 1982. He died in prison in 1995.

**The Road Through Wonderland** is a gripping account of one woman's journey through the dark world of John Holmes. The author, Dolores Noonan, was a young woman when she met Holmes in 1977. She was drawn to his charisma and good looks, and she quickly fell in love with him. However, she soon realized that Holmes was not the man she thought he was. He was abusive and controlling, and he often threatened her with violence.

Noonan eventually escaped from Holmes's clutches, but she was forever scarred by her experience. She struggled with depression and anxiety for years, and she was afraid to trust anyone. However, she eventually found the strength to rebuild her life, and she now helps other women who have survived abuse.

**The Road Through Wonderland** is a powerful and inspiring story of survival. It is a must-read for true crime enthusiasts and anyone who wants to understand the psychology of a killer.
