Serial Killers: Inside The Minds Of The Most Monstrous Murderers book by Charlotte Greig

Charlotte Greig has chosen and written in detail about more than fifty of the world’s most infamous serial killers, ranging from Jack the Ripper to Ted Bundy. Documenting each of these criminals, it is easy to see similar themes emerging: David Berkowitz or Anatoly Onoprienko who grew up to be loners and subsequently sought revenge on a society which they felt had rejected them; those who kill purely for sexual thrills, like Albert Fish; and occult practitioners like the Chicago Rippers and Richard Ramirez who were inspired by macabre rituals to make their dark fantasies into even darker realities. Whatever the personal stories that emerge from this line-up of twisted individuals, Serial Killers is a compelling testament, and warning, of the potential of human behavior for true horror and pure evil.
