Review
"The scholarship is both genuine and fascinating."

-- "The Boston Book Review"

Product Description
The news of shocking crimes and the books and movies they inspire have made serial killers a topic of both tabloid attention and serious study. Renowned true-crime expert Harold Schechter and co-author David Everitt uncover the methods behind the madness of this macabre yet compelling subject. Packed with hundreds of entries spanning the entire spectrum of serial murder, this vivid and comprehensive resource examines these horrific crimes - and their notorious killers - from every angle. From well-publicized facts to little-known details, these entries cover every dark chapter of serial murder and offer an unprecedented look at this gruesome phenomenon that continues to exert a firm grip on the nation's imagination.

4.0 out of 5 stars Many good descriptions, 20 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This book has 25-30 descriptions of different serial killers from all over the world. Inbetween these descriptions there are quotes from the most famous serial killers known to mankind. You will also find passages with headlines such as "Statistics", "Nicknames", "Nursery rhymes", "Power tools", "songs", "Board games" and many many more. If you want to know about serial killers in general this is the book for you. However, if you expect to know everything there is to know about serial killers after reading this book you will be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, 11 Jan 2009
Interesting and informative book on serial killers, however from about halfway through it repeats itsself and becomes a little boring.
