About this ebook
'To me it was like hunting. Hunting people down.'
Anatoly Onoprienko
From perverse acts of cannibalism and dark sexual fantasies to vicious acts motivated by greed and a simple lust for blood, this book reveals the methods and motivations of some of the world's most notorious serial killers, including Juan Corona, Ian Brady & Myra Hindley, Pee Wee Gaskins and Ivan Milat.
Discover the true stories behind celebrity murderers whose names have become legend, including Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, Leonard Lake and Charles Ng, as well as the chilling truth about psychopaths such as Anatoly Onoprienko, whose urge to murder whole families was suppressed by the USSR and has only recently come to light.
Whatever the personal stories that emerge from this line-up of fifty twisted individuals, Serial Killers is a compelling testament, and warning, of the potential of human behaviour for true horror and pure evil.

This book is just what the title states; crimes that are so bizarre and grotesque that after reading this book you are left with a chill and shaking your head.If you like true crime drama this is a poster book for it .I gave 4 out of five,only because I would have liked to see more pics of the cold blooded murderers.

This looks like a textbook. It is one account after another of the most famous serial killers of the world with brief descriptions of the probable precipitating events, and accounts of the murders. It also gives facts of what happened to the criminals afterwards. This is factual and brief. There are some pictures of the criminals. I found it to be disturbing and boring to read.

For a book about the most horrific murderers, this a book you can get stuck on. But when your eyes get weary, and you fall asleep, it's a book you can put down and pick it up a week later and don't feel like you've missed a thing. Quick and easy read.
