The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers by Michael Newton (2000, Paperback)

Who new that all through time, in every country, that there have been serial killers? Very interesting. Hundreds of people mentioned in this book, from notorious killers such as Jack the Ripper, to less known killers like Vlad the Impaler.

I love this book, there is so much information and incide in to all the horrible things that serial killers have done. I recommend anyone to buy this book.

I have been intrigued for many years on the Serial Killer's crimes and their mind. I bought this book to get into the story behind each killer. I love the fact that there are not so many well known stories about some of these killers yet their crimes were just as Heinous.
My only complaint about the book is that it only touches on each crime. It doesn't detail things that these people in detail. I want to know how sick these people really are. It jumps from one person to another so quickly. Other than that, this book was worth the purchase.

This was purchased to replace a copy that got wet. This is an excellent complilation of information regarding the darker side of human behavior. Well written and at times chilling, but a must have for anyone interested in forensics, profiling or abnormal human behavior.
