This book presents an in-depth psychological analysis of the
development of the serial killer personality that will fascinate
all readers, from the experienced criminology student to the casual
true-crime reader. Real-Life Monsters: A Psychological Examination
of the Serial Murderer takes a different approach than most titles
on a similar topic: the author develops and proposes an original
psychological explanation, rather than simply repeating some of the
long-held theories for these criminals' heinous actions. The work
addresses current issues, presents detailed commentary and personal
observation, and contains photographs that will fascinate general
readers interested in the subjects of true crime, serial killers,
and psychopathology. The first part of the book carefully examines
the research past and present regarding clinical, psychological,
societal, and biological bases for violent behavior, specific to
the serial murderer. Part two establishes a novel theory of the
pattern of violence and then explores this hypothesis through eight
case studies, interviews with serial killers, and elemental
analysis. The work also contains a chapter based on conversations
between the author and a convicted serial murderer. Includes eight
case studies of fascinating serial criminals, including recently
convicted media stars Rodney Alcala and Anthony Sowell
