The Ultimate Serial Killer Trivia Book: A Collection Of Fascinating Facts And Disturbing Details About Infamous Serial Killers And Their Horrific Crimes (Perfect True Crime Gift)

This was a great book. There were so many interesting facts in it. I also enjoyed the connections to the history of serial killers. I think my favorite part was the variety of killers there was. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more books like this!

Florida author Jack Rosewood inherited his fascination for heinous crimes from his father, a journalist covering major grim crimes such as Ted Bundy. In this new book Jack details trivial facts about serial killers, most of which are discoveries for the reader – even the Jack Rosewood reader! In addition to his books on individual serial killers he has published collections, such as his fifteen volume SERIAL KILLERS, and TRUE CRIME STORIES: TRUE CRIME ANTHOLOGY. Now he opens our minds with ‘trivial facts’ about these strange people.As is his forte, Jack opens with an introduction explaining the decision to place these gruesome facts before us: ‘The serial killer has no awareness of the consequences. Instead, his (or her) primary aim is to indulge their sadistic desires, quench their bloodlust, and bask in the high of playing God. Each serial killer has unique reasons for doing what they do, many of which are unfathomable to the non-psychopathic mind…This book delves into dark places, unearthing some of the most obscure pieces of trivia in the whole true crime niche…’This volume discusses such topics as the psychopathic mind, unsolved murders, cults, and killers inspired by the media (perhaps the most terrifying information in the book!). The serial killers are placed in categories – what drives them, cannibals, uncaptured killers, bizarre non-serial murders, obscure serial killers, kids who kill, and killers in pop culture. From well known figures such as Ted Bundy, Ed Gein and John Wayne Gacy to names we’ve never heard, this is yet another extremely fine anthology by Jack Rosewood.

So my wife listens to murder podcasts and shows everyday at this point, so I bought this book thinking she would enjoy it. She read some of it and was like, "I already knew that." Which I expected, but then she kept reading and now she just randomly states facts while we're just walking through the park. Like I'll say, "That's a Mallard duck right there in the pond." Wife replies, "Did you know that ponds aren't the best place to dispose of a body? And this is why..." So anyway, great book for murder lovers and I hope your spouse enjoys it as much as mine.

I liked the information and formatting. My only complaint is I feel like some of the cases/stories could have loads more elaboration. But it's very good and chilling at the same time

It's a great book. It goes into detail of every serial killer. It's like reading a documentary.

Present for granddaughter who likes all the scary movies and stories. Not for me, gives me nightmares.

This is a great book for someone who's into this genre. Has more details & little interesting facts about these infamous, evil people than a person should care about. Fascinating.

Bought as a gift & the recipient loved it!!

I wasn’t sure that this would be a hit, but the wife LOVES this book!

Very good read

The book came intact but i do find it unfortunate that it came in this condition since it is a gift :(

This is a gift for my daughter, who loves to read about real crime and very interested in the personalities and reasons they have for their horrific crimes. This book does just that. It is not blood and gore, it is a look behind the mind and motivations of these people gone horribly wrong. I have not given it to her yet, but I am certain she will love it!

Bought this as a wrap up for my husband who reads these kind of books, wasn't sure if he'd like it as it's a fact book, but he said it's brilliant and there's lots of interesting stuff in it, he takes it to work to read on his break, God knows what his work mates think lol
