It Goes Deep...

I thought I'd heard of all the worst cannibal killers, but Albert Fentress & John Weber were new to me. The chapters on John Weber are fantastic. This book tells you everything you wanted to know, and then goes beyond into things that you almost don't want to know, but you can't stop reading. I liked that the murders chosen are a bit obscure- there's no Dahmer for example or Ed Geines and this pleased me- we've all heard & read all about them already. This book is a page turner!
