SHOCKING TRUE STORIES OF THE WORLD'S MOST BARBARIC CRIMINALS


Revealing portraits of the most notorious killers of our time:

•Jeffrey Dahmer
•The Zodiac Killer
•Dr. Harold Shipman
•Son of Sam
•The Columbine Killers
•Charles Manson
•The Night Stalker
•The Yorkshire Ripper
•Ted Bundy
•Charles Starkweather
•The Boston Strangler


Serial Killers & Mass Murderers takes you into the minds of the criminals who committed the world's most notorious and horrifying crimes. Each of the sadistic murderers profiled here was once known simply as someone's neighbor, co-worker or child. What turned them into killers? In one chilling chapter after another, this book profiles a terrifying succession of homicidal maniacs and asks the question, "What makes them tick?"

"The refrigerator contained meat, including a human heart, in plastic bags. There were three human heads in the freezer. Two more skulls were found in a pot on the stove. Another pot contained male genital organs and severed heads, and there were the remains of three male torsos in the trash."

This review is from: Serial Killers and Mass Murderers: Profiles of the World's Most Barbaric Criminals (Paperback)
I bought this book out of curiosity to bide time in between missions while deployed...I have to say I wanted to read the entire book in one sitting. Each story is well written with facts that aren't mentioned in the movies. This book also reveals serial killers I haven't heard of. It definitely goes into their minds & almost makes you feel as if you're there at the crime scene. If you're curious about the 'stories' of serial killers, read this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars brief synopsis but uncommon stories, February 5, 2010
This review is from: Serial Killers and Mass Murderers: Profiles of the World's Most Barbaric Criminals (Paperback)
This book is all about murderers who have several victims; it covers the tales of 17 cases. Nigel Cawthorne includes some of the less common, or less known killers in his writing. He devotes 10-20 pages per case, so if you are looking for information that is more comprehensive, this may not be the book for you. Overall, I felt that this was a good read that covered the basics of each case.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining read, August 19, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Serial Killers and Mass Murderers: Profiles of the World's Most Barbaric Criminals (Paperback)
This book was very entertaining. The chapters were well written and to the point. You could tell the author was very educated on the subject he was writing about, but didn't run on and on about it. It just never ceases to amaze me, the depravity and madness that sometimes occurs in the minds of humans. Some of these murderers just seemed to become INHUMAN after you read of their crimes!
Very good, short and to the point book for true crime buffs!
