Author: Jack Smith

Serial killers fascinates?Extreme cases even more so From John Wayne Gacy to Jeffrey Dahmer, many of America?s most famous murderers have entered into the collective cultural consciousness.

For audiences everywhere, the very idea that these people can exist and operate in day-to-day life becomes an issue of abject terror and interest. That your neighbor, your boss, or your gas station attendant might be in the midst of a killing spree taps into something primal and very hard to imagine.

Targets can be random, but the killings are often planned in great detail. From cannibalism to mental health concerns, from ritualistic witchcraft to a simple interest in violence, learning what motivates these people can offer both insight and further confusion. The cases presented in this book are extreme cases and display to what extent a serial killer can go...
