A few short bios on a few sick b-stards. Never heard of any of these ones. All were 'vampires', well they either thought they were it we're labelled as such because of the weird crap they did. Some were more cannibals than vampires, but whatever.
Also note that most of these people were actually not Americans for a change. I guess there are sickos all over the world!
Not too bad of a book. The last one read a Lille weird. That one was about a bizarre couple in Germany, so I think it may have been a translation thing. Didn't affect the story though.
I like True Crime stories, and this one was ok if you're into that sort of stuff.
Don't expect a long, detailed accounting of the subjects. This is kind of a condensed version covering some of the crimes they committed and the punishment they received.
Read better such stories, but I've read much worse. I'd puck up another book by the author. Guess thar says something, but I did get this one for free on my Kindle from Amazon.

I have a morbid fascination with all things serial killer/true crime. So, this is one of many serial killer anthologies I've loaded onto my Kindle.
The book is lackluster in many areas, poorly researched and (in the case of Andrei's story) not strung together well.
The last story of the book is only 2 pages long (and the couple murdered one person, therefore definitely excluding them from the name "serial killer") and had hardly any detail in it.
It was disappointing but did lead me to a few new names to research. [Like Tsutomu Miyazaki & Nicolas Claux].
