Serial Killers Vol. 2 Exploring the Horrific True Crimes of Little Known Murderers

Rate this book
Serial killers are big business. From the countless books, films, and television programs to the fascination of the twenty-four-hour news networks, there is something about these mass murderers that catches the eye and catches the attention. While many people are familiar with the better-known killers like John Wayne Gacy or Jack the Ripper, this is not the end of the story. There are so many examples of serial killers from around the world that many of them have simply been forgotten about.

But that does not make their crimes any less serious. Instead, some of these serial killers committed heinous acts above and beyond those we have come to expect when thinking about the worst psychopaths in living memory. In cases such as these, the truth is often stranger than fiction. For every Hannibal Lecter or Norman Bates, the murders committed by the people detailed in this book are often more extreme, violent, and off-putting than anything you might find in fiction.

As we delve further and further into the book, we will begin to see not only the extremities of the crimes but the difficulty that the authorities face when trying to catch a killer. With so many serial killers on the record books of human history, it is a wonder that we have caught as many as we have. Even in the cases where no one has ever been arrested for the crimes, we can learn a lot about the mind sets of the individuals involved. As we travel further into the minds of the forgotten serial killers, we will not only learn more about what turns people into violent mass murderers, but we will learn how these individuals are shaped and treated by society. The morbid fascination we have with serial killers is matched only by the violence of the crimes in question. So, read on and find out more about history’s forgotten serial killers.

Inside find fascinating cases such

•The son of a candy factory owner who carried out the Houston Mass Murders
•The Mexican murderer who preyed on migrant farm workers
•The man who would strangle women and leave their bodies beneath the bed
•And much more

Fascinating book!

This book examines the crimes of serial killers who are less well known to the public at large. The crimes mentioned in the book happened in many different time periods and in many different countries. I will admit to knowing about some of the killers listed as well as their crimes as I read a lot of true crime books. The author has done a good job describing the killers and their crimes. I highly recommend this book to other true crime readers.

Scary subject(s) but informative

Jack Smith has attempted to inform us about some disturbed individuals and has done well. His writing style is clear and leads the reader through each case matter-of-factly so that their is minimal effort required by the reader.

Great read

It amazes me that people like this get away with crimes for so long. A must read for any true crime reader.

Another look at Serial Killers that are little known. For some reason they fascinate and scare us at the same time. There is even one that has never been apprehended.

If you're interested in an overview of different serial killers, then this book is for you. Unfortunately, the writing is pretty sloppy, particularly the author's use of sentence structure. I often had to reread sentences or paragraphs to follow where the author was going. There are also a fair amount of typos and grammatical mistakes making this read all the harder to get through. The information is solid, but the writing is not.
