THE DEFINITIVE DOSSIER ON HISTORY'S MOST HEINOUS
Hollywood's make-believe maniacs like Jason, Freddy, and Hannibal
Lecter can't hold a candle to real life monsters like John Wayne
Gacy, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and scores of others who have
terrorized, tortured, and terminated their way across civilization
throughout the ages. Now, from the much-acclaimed author of
"Deviant, Deranged," and "Depraved, " comes "the" ultimate resource
on the serial killer phenomenon.
Rigorously researched and packed with the most terrifying,
up-to-date information, this innovative and highly compelling
compendium covers every aspect of multiple murderers--from
psychology to cinema, fetishism to fan clubs, "trophies" to trading
cards. Discover:
WHO THEY ARE: Those featured include Ed Gein, the homicidal mama's
boy who inspired fiction's most famous "Psycho," Norman Bates;
Angelo Buono and Kenneth Bianchi, sex-crazed killer cousins better
known as the Hillside Stranglers; and the Beanes, a
fifteenth-century cave-dwelling clan with an insatiable appetite
for human flesh
HOW THEY KILL: They shoot, stab, and strangle. Butcher, bludgeon,
and burn. Drown, dismember, and devour . . . and other methods of
massacre too many and monstrous to mention here.
WHY THEY DO IT: For pleasure and for profit. For celebrity and for
"companionship." For the devil and for dinner. For the thrill of
it, for the hell of it, and because "such men are monsters, who
live . . .
beyond the frontiers of madness."
"PLUS: "in-depth case studies, classic killers' nicknames,
definitions of every kind of deviance and derangement, and much,
much more.
For more than one hundred profiles of lethal loners and killer
couples, Bluebeards and black widows, cannibals and copycats-- this
is an indispensable, spine-tingling, eye-popping investigation into
the dark hearts and mad minds of that twisted breed of human whose
crimes are the most frightening . . . and fascinating.
