4.0 out of 5 stars just the way I like 'em, February 29, 2000

By A Customer

This book is a quick-reference book for the numerous serial killers that have roamed the land since the 1800s. This book starts with those who thought they were werewolves (feasting on children), to those who believed they were cannibals and breeded with each other, to the notorious Speck, Killer Clown and Dahmer. There are a few pages dedicated to each killer, complete with an easy-reference index. Only the most gruesome details are highlighted.

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING, May 15, 1998

By A Customer

Expecting a package from Amazon is always a lot of fun. On some occasions the joy of receiving that package is quickly turned in to horrible disappointment. Getting this book was one of those moments. I don't know how the writers got their facts, if it was from "The National Inquirer", from the local psychic or if they just plain made it up, but it should be called fiction, not fact. To sum up my opinion: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK-IT STINKS!

5.0 out of 5 stars Human Monsters, Yes!, May 18, 2008

By	BJ "Brett Starr" (East Peoria, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This collection is great. I owned this book for years and would always go back and forth flipping through the pages, finding new twisted tales.

Another reviewer called it inaccurate, well, maybe, who cares really, I read it for the hair raising tales and pure shock and awe!

If you like serial killer literature, I haven't seen too many better then this book!
