This encyclopedia contains a lot of interesting information. However, the writers spend way too much time on Albert Fish and Ed Gein, but end up just kind of repeating the same information over and over about other killers. I'd also be interested to see what an updated version of this would look like, as so much has changed in the world of true crime since the late 1990s.

I‘ve read this book so many times the cover is coming off. This is one of the most interesting reads ever. My fascination with Serial Killers started with my Mom and her influences on my reading preferences. She allowed me to read a copy of Jeffrey Dahmer‘s court documents at a young age as she found human behavior fascinating, which morphed into me becoming a Psychology Major in Undergad and Grad School. I can‘t recommend this book enough!

REHill This is in my amazon shopping cart. I just haven‘t hit purchase yet! Yes? No? 6y
JacintaMCarter @REHill I haven't started it yet, but my friend read it when he was working on a novel about a serial killer and said it was great for research purposes. I'm not sure how it reads for just enjoyment purposes. 6y
REHill I am working on a series of short stories about a female serial killer & devouring everything I can find. Currently reading The Sociopath Next Door & Female Serial Killers: How & Why Women Become Monsters. I will let you know what I think of these if you post an update when you are finished? 😈 This one is on the short list. 6y

I absolutely love this book. I have read it so many times my first copy fell apart. Very informative and it opens the door into the subject
