Helpful Score: 1

An extensive guide to all known serial killers ( as of 1997 ) The book features a special appendix probing the mind of spree killer Andrew Cunanan. Great for true crime/serial killer buffs. The book in many places uses conceptual art taken from a line of "serial killer trading cards" which seemed strange/cartoony choice rather than use actual photos of the killers and their work/crime scenes. Also covered are related subjects such as motives/methods/pop culture impact/trivia/pyschological insights...too many to list. Although not overly graphic, it is very disturbing subject matter and is not for the squeamish reader....and certainly not for children and young adults as the book does delve into horrific crimes against children. True crime fans will adore it...but don't stare into this abyss for too long, lest it stare back into you.
