World Serial Killers
World Serial Killers is a true crime compendium of 50 chilling serial killers from across the globe. These men embrace violence and are guilty of some of the most depraved atrocities ever committed.
Men such as Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, who considered killing young women his “career” and murdered so many times he lost count; or Tsutomu Miyazaki, the Japanese Vampire, who murdered young girls in Tokyo and preserved their body parts as trophies; or the cannibal Nikolai Dzhumagaliev known as Metal Fang who brought terror to Kazakhstan with his appetite for drinking blood and eating human flesh.
Based on contemporary accounts, police records and meticulous research, World Serial Killers chronicles the crimes of evil men and the brutality they inflicted on their victims. Fascinated by death, they are psychopaths with no remorse and twisted imaginations, all of whom have made their indelible mark on the pages of true crime history.
