The World's Most Evil Serial Killers: Crimes that Shocked the World

by Al Cimino, Jo Durden-Smith, Paul Roland

There are few people alive who are so cruel, so heartless and so undeniably evil that they will kill again and again. Yet at any one time, there are between 25 and 50 active serial killers in the USA, and their chilling crimes have fascinated us since the days of Jack the Ripper. Here you will discover how these heartless killers committed their gruesome deeds, what motivated them to kill and how, eventually, they were caught.

This collection features more than 50 compelling stories,
• Ed Kemper, who dismembered the bodies of his victims once he had finished with them;
• Ted Bundy, who abducted, raped and brutally killed more than 30 women;
• Charles Manson, who led a cult of mayhem and murder;
• Jeffrey Dahmer, who stored a human head in his freezer;
• Randy Kraft, who was pulled over for drunk driving with a body in the trunk of his car;
• Alexander Pichushkin, who aimed to kill a person for every square on the chessboard.

Read it in one day. Super awesome, very detailed and includes some interesting photos. If you’re a true crime junkie most of the people are your common ones but there are some new ones I haven’t heard of yet so maybe you haven’t either!

I recommend this book if you're into crime or just got into that kind of stuff. There are some grammar mistakes but I still really liked it. :)

It’s a good book if your wanting a quick information but not one if you were hoping for more depth about the person. I would read it on and off throughout the whole year.
