Praise for the hardcover edition: "...recommended..."— American Reference Books Annual The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers, Second Edition provides accurate, unglamorized information on hundreds of serial murder cases—from early history to the present. Written in a non-sensational manner, this comprehensive encyclopedia debunks many of the myths surrounding this most notorious of criminal activities. New major serial killers have come to light since the first edition was published, and many older cases have been solved (such as the Green River Killer) or further investigated (like Jack the Ripper and the "Zodiac" Killer). Completely updated entries and appendixes pair with more than 30 new photographs and many new entries to make this new edition more fascinating than ever. New and updated entries include: "Axe Man of New Orleans" BTK Killer Jack the Ripper Cuidad Juarez, Mexico John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, the Sniper Killers Gary Leon Ridgway, the Green River Killer Harold Frederick Shipman ViCLAS Coral Watts Aileen Wuornos Robert Lee Yates Jr. and more. Review: Informative, Fun to Read; a Must-Own Book - Serial Killers have long aroused society's curiosity. Recent high-profile cases and intense media coverage have drawn increased attention to this terrifying brand of crime, its shocking criminals, and the details of these killers' heinous acts. This Encyclopedia contains comprehensive information on hundreds of serial murderers and murder cases, from early history to the present. Debunking common myths and misconceptions, this encyclopedia avoids glamorizing serial killers and provides accurate accounts of who they are, how they operate, and how law enforcement hunts them. With more than 250 entries, including, more than 60 new and updated, and more than 30 new photographs, this Encyclopedia is an indispensable references for students, researchers, general readers interested in the macabre but fascinating world of Serial Killers. You'll find all the legendary or well-known cases: Bundy, Gacy, Gein, Zodiac, Lucas, Jack the Ripper, Dahmer, Ramirez, Son of Sam, Boston Strangler, BTK, Ridgway, Chikatilo, Wuornos, Hillside Stranglers, Bathory, Manson, Toole, Yates, Fish and many more. You'll also find a lot of cases that the general public might have never heard before: The I-45 Killer, Fritz Haarmann, Billy Gohl, Jarvis Catoe, The Frankford Slasher, The Valley Killer, Michael B. Ross, Gennadiy Mikhasevich, "Bruce Lee", William Hance and many others that a lot of people might not know. Some of the entries are about type of murders or killers: Mass Murder, Cannibalism, Black Widows, Bluebeards, Bombing (this is where you'll find the Unabomber), Vampirism, Sexual Homicides and other types of killers and murders. Some of the entries you'll find in this book are about other things related to serial killers and law enforcement: Modus Operandi, Geography, Profiling, Incarceration, Groupies, Missing persons, Weapons, Motives and others. A great section of this Encyclopedia is the "Appendix", from page 308 to page 489. The Appendix is in three different sections: Solo killers, Team killers and Unresolved cases. You'll find in this appendix all the cases not detailed in the main text. You'll find all the basic information about these cases: name, sex, race of the killer(s) ( if known ); date(s) of the murder(s), the killer's type and motivation, plus a brief description of the case. The third part, the unresolved cases, is chilling to read, it's scary to think that most of these unknown serial killers might still be alive and killing people. The Appendix is a great idea and is really fun to read. I don't have to say more. This is a must-buy book, one of the best Encyclopedia I have ever read. Buy it, You won't regret it. :) Review: Addicting - Every crime junkie will love this book. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #334,293 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #170 in History Encyclopedias #663 in Serial Killers True Accounts #787 in Criminology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 858 Reviews | ## Images ![The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers, Second Edition (Facts on File Crime Library) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81m8EIr7scL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informative, Fun to Read; a Must-Own Book *by J***E on September 13, 2011* Serial Killers have long aroused society's curiosity.
