Serial Killers: The Method and Madness of Monsters

Helen Doan said Great read!!. This is such a good creepy read. One of the best serial killer books. I left my copy somewhere and will order another copy to add to my collection.. "Five Stars" according to Joyce B. Keller. Used for a class. Great. "Five Stars" according to Amazon Customer. This provided wonderful research material for me, a writer, who needed to better understand her "villain" character.

Exhaustively researched, with transcripts of interviews with killers and featuring up-to-date information on the apprehension and conviction of the Green River Killer and the Beltway Snipers, Vronsky's one-of-a-kind book covers every conceivable aspect of an endlessly riveting true-crime phenomenon.. In this unique book, Peter Vronsky documents the psychological, investigative, and cultural aspects of serial murder, beginning with its first recorded instance in ancient Rome, through 15th-century France, up to such notorious contemporary cases as cannibal/necrophile Ed Kemper, Henry Lee Lucas, Ted Bundy, and the emergence of what he classifies as "the serial rampage killer" such as Andrew Cunanan
