À propos de cet audio

Pain, torment, and torture. Cruelty, brutality, and violence. The twisted psyches, murder. and yes, even the ability to charm people. Take a deep dive into the terrifyingly real serial murderers, spree killers, and true faces of evil!

They prey on the innocent with a malicious desire to inflict damage and harm. They hunt and stalk misfortunate victims in the dark, in broad daylight, in quiet neighborhoods, and in the local woods. Their bloodthirst isn't satisfied after their first kill. Or their second. Or third. Serial Killers: The Minds, Methods, and Mayhem of History's Most Notorious Murderers delves into the global phenomenon of serial and spree murderers.

This chilling book looks at the horrifying stories of 40 malevolent killers and hundreds of innocent victims, including such notorious homicidal maniacs as John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and Jeffery Dahmer, but it also looks at lesser-known and overlooked murderers like Herbert Baumeister, America’s I-70 Strangler; Japan’s “Anime Killer”, Tsutomu Miyazaki; Russia’s “Rostov Ripper”, Andrei Chikatilo; the “Giggling Granny”, Nannie Doss; and many more. It journeys to 16th-century Scotland to meet a clan of cannibals whose existence is still debated by historians today, and to the fog-shrouded alleys of Whitechapel, London, where Jack the Ripper earned his grisly namesake. Along the way, we’ll meet the Dating Game Killer, the Milwaukee Cannibal, the Acid Bath Murderer, and other monsters.

Serial Killers also asks the questions....

  • What makes a seemingly ordinary person stalk, torture, and murder their fellow human beings?
  • Are serial killers born or made?
  • What is the difference between a serial killer and a spree killer?
  • What were the identities of Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer?
  • Was Albert DeSalvo really the Boston Strangler?
  • Is it possible that you could know a serial killer?

Caution is advised before entering the alarming world of twisted psychos and sociopaths!

Passable Survey

Paranormal Investigator Richard Estep carefully states in the Introduction of this book that his foray into the True Crime genre is intended to be more than a simple regurgitation of Serial Killer cases (implying that some insight will be offered).. and then proceeds to provide "adequate" straightforward summaries of heavily-documented instances of serial killings throughout recorded history - H.H Holmes, Jack The Ripper, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard Ramirez, Harold Shipman, etc. (and admittedly a few less well-known cases like Carl Panzram, Dennis Nilsen, and Rodney Alcala).
The collection is readable, and the selected cases are individually distinct (including females, blacks, and asians, for example) - potentially offering some discernment.. but don't expect anything *new* from this offering. Estep writes a decent Serial Killer compilation, but doesn't meet his expository mandate.

Reader John Curless's performance is similarly competent but not particularly noteworthy. To be certain, his diction, timbre, cadence, and tone are professional.. but Recorded Books Inc. could easily have cast another equally effective narrator.

Altogether, I rate 'Serial Killers: The Minds, Methods, and Mayhem of History's Most Notorious Murderers' a pedestrian 6/10-stars.
It was a serviceable distraction for a few quiet afternoons as a 'Plus' option - but spend your Credit elsewhere should Audible ask for one.
