Pain, torment, and torture. Cruelty, brutality, and violence. The
twisted psyches, murder. and yes, even the ability to charm people. Take
a deep dive into the terrifyingly real serial murderers, spree killers,
and true faces of evil!
They prey on the innocent with a malicious desire to inflict damage and
harm. They hunt and stalk misfortunate victims in the dark, in broad
daylight, in quiet neighborhoods, and in the local woods. Their
bloodthirst isn't satisfied after their first kill. Or their second. Or
third. Serial Killers: The Minds, Methods, and Mayhem of History's
Most Notorious Murderers delves into the global phenomenon of serial
and spree murderers.
This chilling book looks at the horrifying stories of forty malevolent
killers and hundreds of innocent victims, including such notorious
homicidal maniacs as John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and Jeffery Dahmer, but
it also looks at lesser-known and overlooked murderers like Herbert
Baumeister, America's I-70 Strangler; Japan's "Anime Killer," Tsutomu
Miyazaki; Russia's "Rostov Ripper," Andrei Chikatilo; the "Giggling
Granny," Nannie Doss; and many more. It journeys to 16th-century
Scotland to meet a clan of cannibals whose existence is still debated by
historians today, and to the fog-shrouded alleys of Whitechapel, London,
where Jack the Ripper earned his grisly namesake. Along the way, we'll
meet the Dating Game Killer, the Milwaukee Cannibal, the Acid Bath
Murderer, and other monsters.
