Books 5-8 of the Serial Killers series feature four terrifying true stories about the world's most prolific and brutal killers.
The bestial crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer shook the world to its core. From multiple murders to cannibalism and necrophilia, his crimes were chilling in their number and blood-curdling in their horrific nature. Using his Milwaukee apartment as a chamber of death and erotic violence, Dahmer would abuse, mutilate, disembody, and eventually eat his victims in a scarcely believable fulfilment of his dark twisted fantasies.
John Wayne Gacy, Jr., was a serial killer and rapist who terrorised Chicago in the 1970s. He was charged and convicted for the assault and murder of at 33 young men from 1972 to 1978, with his favorite method of killing was through asphyxiation. When he killed his victims, he sometimes dressed as the character 'Pogo the Clown', leading to some of the media referring to him as 'the killer clown'.
The Zodiac Killer terrorised the San Francisco area in the late 1960s and early 1970s, targeting mainly young couples in a rampage across northern California. The serial killer was never identified, and adopted the name 'zodiac' in one of a series of letters that he sent to the media at the time. In total, seven victims have been attributed to the Zodiac Killer, although there are a number of unconfirmed additional cases that may be the responsibility of the Zodiac.
Ed Gein is probably much less well known than the characters that were inspired by his macabre crimes, including Psycho and Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. Gein murdered two people, and exhumed the corpses of many more in order to fashion keepsakes and mementoes from the body parts.
