Customer Reviews

good quick reference

This a good book for a quick reference. as for the "national "e"nquirer" review, that trashy paper couldn't make up this stuff. Although it doesn't really go in too deep about the murdering monsters, it still is a decent book and a good read.

Human Monsters, Yes!

This collection is great. I owned this book for years and would always go back and forth flipping through the pages, finding new twisted tales. Another reviewer called it inaccurate, well, maybe, who cares really, I read it for the hair raising tales and pure shock and awe! If you like serial killer literature, I haven't seen too many better then this book!

Death by Sledge Hammer- The Bender Family!

The segment on the Bender family is fascinating. Luring travelers to their country home for dinner and a night's board, and Wham! Don't sit with your back to a sheet room-divider is the moral I guess. The chapter on Sawney Beane is just as great. Inbred Scottish cannibals living in a cave, where the only entrance is concealed by water due to the tide most of the day. Why isn't this story a movie?

just the way I like 'em

This book is a quick-reference book for the numerous serial killers that have roamed the land since the 1800s. This book starts with those who thought they were werewolves (feasting on children), to those who believed they were cannibals and breeded with each other, to the notorious Speck, Killer Clown and Dahmer. There are a few pages dedicated to each killer, complete with an easy-reference index. Only the most gruesome details are highlighted.

IX-NAY ON THE ARNING-WAY!!! EAD-RAY T-IAY OW-NAY!!

This book is....how do you say? Ah yes, VERY...VERY FASCINATING. Just a little forewarning; this book does not contain any stories about "Joey,the Slob Drunk Husband" shooting "Martha, the Lazy Housewife" in the can over a simple domestic dispute over a sink-full of dirty dishes, or an empty dinner plate after a hard days work at the toaster factory. This Encycopedia is chock-full-o' historical facts and information, and is a very informative timeline of the history of the worlds known psychopaths, cannibals, necrophiles, serial killers, murderers, and mass murderers. Oh yeah, I forgot, the "National Enquirer" hasn't been established long enough to make up a story about "Seaney Beane" (sp?, don't have the book with me) or the "Bloody Benders", and I seriously doubt their writers would ever be creative enough to conjure up any stories like that, or any of the others for that matter. Please readers, READ THIS BOOK. It will really make you think....
