JEFFREY DAHMER, whose refrigerator was packed with the body parts of his seventeen victims
ANDREI CHIKATILO, who brutally slayed and dismembered fifty-three people in southeastern Russia
FRITZ HAARMANN, who drank his victims’ blood and sold their flesh on the black market
STANLEY BAKER, who cut out a young man’s heart and devoured it while it was still beating
JOACHIM KROLL, who cooked a stew of carrots, potatoes and a small child’s hand

I was very dissapointed after reading this book. The book bombards the readers a lot of information, especially in the first 2-3 chapters, that it gets everwhelming, confusing, and not fun to read at all. Moreover, even though the author tried to tell the story of the criminals in order, he failed. The reader will get confused and lost a lot of times, resulting in rereading the previous pages. The interview of the cannibal serial killers were the ones I think that the author did a good job.

This book is great for people who have always been fascinated by cannibalistic serial killers such as Albert Fish, Andrei Chikatilo, and Jeffrey Dahmer and other stories of cannibalism. I once had this book but it got thrown away.

I can't believe that any true crime book focusing on cannibalism and "vampirism" would neglect to relate the case of Richard Trenton Chase, the "Vampire of Sacramento". Those familiar with that case will understand why this omission is so glaring; those not familiar with it should skip this book and get the MD/lawyer Markman's (I forget his first name) book (i.e., "Alone With the Devil"), a work of pure genius!
