Hollywood's make-believe maniacs like Jason, Freddy, and Hannibal Lecter can't hold a candle to real life monsters like John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and scores of others who have terrorized, tortured, and terminated their way across civilization throughout the ages. Now, from the much-acclaimed author of Deviant, Deranged, and Depraved, comes the ultimate resource on the serial killer phenomenon. Rigorously researched, this innovative and highly compelling compendium covers every aspect of multiple murderers, including psychology, cinema, fetishism, fan clubs, "trophies," and trading cards.… (meer)

After reading about 40% of this book I felt overwhelmed with gruesome details of the most horrific murders throughout the ages. There was some discussion at the beginning of the book about the possible "whys", but that was followed by groupings of serial killers by sub-type (number of participants, gender, race, and so on). It just became too much. I could see from chapter headings that their might have been more about the "why" in later chapters, but my stomach wasn't strong enough to handle the sheer volume of gore.

I probably should have known better and just skipped this altogether. ( )

SERIAL KILLERS, ANATOMIA DO MAL - O DOSSIÊ DEFINITIVO SOBRE ASSASSINOS EM SÉRIE O que faz gente aparentemente normal começar a matar e não parar mais? O que move – e o que pode deter – assassinos em série como Ed Gein, o psicopata americano que inspirou os mais célebres maníacos do cinema, como Norman Bates (Psicose, de Alfred Hitchcok), Leatherface (O Massacre da Serra Elétrica, de Tobe Hooper) e Hannibal Lecter (O Silêncio dos Inocentes, de Jonathan Demme). Como explicar a compulsão por matar e o prazer de causar dor, sem qualquer arrependimento? De onde vem tanta fúria? As respostas estão no livro da editora DarkSide® Books: SERIAL KILLERS: ANATOMIA DO MAL, dossiê definitivo sobre o universo sombrio dos psicopatas mais perversos da história. Escrito por Harold Schechter – que pesquisa o tema há mais de três décadas e já publicou, inclusive, a biografia de Ed Gein, Deviant (1998) -, o livro é referência fundamental a todos os que se interessam pelo universo da investigação e da criminologia. Pontuado por curiosidades macabras, dados científicos e fatos pouco conhecidos sobre a trajetória dos principais criminosos em série dos Estados Unidos, SERIAL KILLERS: ANATOMIA DO MAL abrange desde a criação do termo serial killer no início do Século XX (conforme exibido na série MINDHUNTER, da Netflix) até o fascínio exercido por matadores seriais na cultura pop (cinema, música e literatura). Com clareza, ritmo e muita informação, Harold Schechter traça perfis psicológicos impressionantes de criminosos que desafiaram a polícia, viraram notícia e continuam a nos assombrar nas telas da TV e do cinema. Além de Ed Gein, a galeria de personagens sinistros inclui o cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer, que chegou a matar e devorar uma pessoa por semana no verão de 1991; a ex-prostituta Aillen Wuornos (inspiração para o filme Monster), que, depois de confessar seis assassinatos, pediu para ser condenada à morte para interromper a matança; o assassino Zodíaco (cuja verdadeira identidade é desconhecida até hoje); Charles Manson, o lunático que comandou o assassinato da atriz Sharon Tate em um ritual macabro; e Green River Killer, principal assassino de prostitutas da história, só capturado pela polícia com a ajuda de outro serial killer. Em SERIAL KILLERS: ANATOMIA DO MAL você vai descobrir como eles matam e por que matam. Por prazer, dor, amor ou desespero. Por conta de famílias disfuncionais e infâncias perturbadoras. Em nome do demônio ou para o jantar… Histórias reais, assassinos reais, de uma maneira que você nunca viu, estudados com profundidade, rigor científico e conhecimento psicológico. Um livro fundamental para quem se apaixonou por MINDHUNTER, CSI, Dexter, Criminal Minds e para quem acompanha o canal Discovery Investigation e quer entender o que se passa na mente dos assassinos mais temidos e cruéis de todos os tempos. Sem dúvida, oriundos de um sociedade que precisa repensar urgentemente como cicatrizar essas feridas abertas.

I'd give the book 5 stars if it didn't repeat a lot of the info halfway through which kept getting repetitive. Other than that I couldn't put it down. ( )

Despite the possibly scary subject, the book itself is not very frightening. It tells the stories of many killers, from the middle ages till the modern era in quite a factly manner.
I found it an interesting book.
One I bought a long time ago after reading about moles in the CIA and laying hands on a book about Chikatilo.
A lot is know already nowadays about the why, how, when, what, where, a lot of information I more or less knew. But it was still worth my while, because it was also a book about the history of this phenomenon 'serial murderer'. ( )

The dark side of human nature is an endless source of morbid fascination, and with this book we go right to the heart of some of the most appalling human behavior. Despite the brutality of the topic, the author's conversational writing style makes this an easy book to read.

We start at the beginning, when the term 'serial killer' was first defined. The author talks about specific traits common to serial killers, using notorious cases as examples. From there, this book covers a little bit of everything, from the types of killers, to their methods of killing and body disposal. The cases explored span from Jack the Ripper to modern-day killers.

A major flaw in this book, for me, was the repetition. The author relies on a handful of the more well-known serial killers for examples, and the same details are cited multiple times throughout. This might be due, in part, to the way the book is set up, though the information is repeated as if we hadn't read the exact details in a different section.

The other problem area, for me, was with the 'Why They Kill' section. We're lead to believe that all serial killers have mother issues, come from abusive homes, and are abnormally fixated on sex. While this is a general truth for many killers, it's an oversimplification and not true for all killers. The author also appears to support the nurture over nature theory, which is another generality that doesn't hold true. Abuse, in and of itself, does not create a serial killer. The fact is that, most often, it's a combination of nature and nurture, and occasionally simply nature. In fairness, much of the neuroscience research in this area has been published within the past decade, before this book's publication. Still, I felt this section tried too hard to simplify a complicated issue.

Overall, this is a good read, covering a vast topic and focusing on a handful of darkly intriguing cases. ( )
