In our modern times we have become all too immunised to the horrors, pain and suffering caused by the likes of some of the human predators featured in this book - many of whose awful crimes have become the subject material for bums-on-seats movies, with us, sitting in our comfortable armchairs, or in a cinema with a mouthful of popcorn, being 'entertained' with a glorified account of the crimes - most often far removed from reality and the twisted sexual psychopathology of the killers themselves, and without even considering the untold human suffering caused in extremis.
