Serial Killers by Jamie King is a gripping compendium of some of the world's most infamous and shocking mass murderers, such as John Wayne Gacy, the Boston Strangler, the Moors murderers, and Harold Shipman, as well as some lesser-known figures.

Who was the Zodiac Killer?

What drove Jeffrey Dahmer to dismember his 17 victims?

How many women really fell prey to Ted Bundy?

Maybe it's because our animal instincts draw us to dangerous situations; maybe it's because reading about predators allows us to learn about their behaviours in a safe setting. Whatever the reason, serial killers and their crimes have fascinated us for centuries.

This true crime compendium not only relates the disturbing events that transpired but also delves into the psychology of the perpetrators. The stories within are shocking and often difficult to comprehend, but with this deep dive into the world of the macabre, readers may gain a greater understanding of the motivations and thought processes of these murderers.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the psychology of crime and the human mind.
