An equal parts haunting and hilarious deep-dive review of history's most notorious and cold-blooded serial killers, from the creators of the award-winning Last Podcast on the Left.

Since its first show in 2010, The Last Podcast on the Left has barreled headlong into all things horror, as hosts Henry Zebrowski, Ben Kissel, and Marcus Parks cover subjects spanning Jeffrey Dahmer, werewolves, Jonestown, and supernatural phenomena. Deeply researched, but with a morbidly humorous bent, the podcast has earned a dedicated and aptly cult-like following for its unique take on all things macabre.

In their first book, the guys take a deep dive into ten of history's most notorious serial killers, from Ted Bundy to the Zodiac Killer, exploring their origin stories, haunting habits, and perverse predilections. Featuring newly developed content alongside updated fan favourites, each profile is an exhaustive examination of the darker side of human existence.

With appropriately creepy four-colour illustrations throughout and a gift-worthy paper over board format, The Last Book on the Left will satisfy the blood lust of readers everywhere.

AUTHORS: Having bonded while performing in the Brooklyn comedy scene, Ben Kissel, Henry Zebrowski, and Marcus Parks have written and produced The Last Podcast on the Left since 2010.
