  • "Mass murder is dreadful enough, yet that is not sufficient a thrill for those evil monsters for whom the excitement begins once their victims are dead. This book - a companion volume to Serial Killers: The World's Most Evil - deals with multiple murderers who not only slay to slake their perverted pleasures but also mutilate and even cannibalise their victims' bodies. There is nothing new about this, the sickest serial killer of all was Jack the Ripper - and murderous maniacs have been slashing their bloody path through history ever since. A leading forensic psychiatrist describes this syndrome as 'the total annihilation of a human being by another human being willing to trample on this most sacred prohibition in the social code'. These butchers who dismember for pleasure have been the inspiration for the fictional monster of Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs. The killers woh spawned such movies all appear in this book. But, sadly, none of the horrors reported within these pages are fiction. So dare to delve behind the horrifying headlines...and examine what is in the minds of the world's most murderous, butchering monsters."
  • "They are the criminals who horrify us most... murderers without mercy. They may be driven by greed, hatred, sadistic urges or simply bloodlust. But there is one added ingredient that makes their crimes utterly reprehensible in the eyes of a civilised society - and that is a total lack of remorse for their vile deeds. This book is about the most perverse perpetrators of those crimes: the murderers who show no compassion, who kill without a hint of regret, without penitence, without shame. And their lack of conscience is clear because they do so not once but over and over again."

A companion volume to Serial Killer's: World's Most Evil and Serial Killers: Butchers and Cannibals, this book catalogues a disparate array of notorious criminals from Victorian poisoners to present-day shootists. But all have a common flaw in their characters that leaves them, for all the wrong reasons, guilt free. And it is that genetic glitch that makes them so eerily fascinating."
