Serial Killers at the Movies

Serial Killers at the Movies

The depraved crimes of both real and imagined serial killers and mass murderers have long transfixed us in newspapers and books, but perhaps nowhere more so than on the big screen. Films such as Silence of the Lambs, Psycho and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer have not only reached huge audiences but also allowed us into the minds of society's most disturbed individuals. Bestselling author, Christopher Berry-Dee, talks to the serial killers whose wicked stories have most thrilled and fascinated us at the movies and, through far-ranging and disturbing interviews, he tells the stories of the mass murderers who provided the inspiration for some of cinema's most shocking films.

This book brought my two loves together true crime and horror/slasher movies, I couldn’t get enough of it. I highlighted the heck out of this book, there are so many books I want to go read now because of it. Christopher Berry-Dee writing had me hooked and I can’t wait to read more from him. I have heard of some of the crimes in this book and I will be looking up the others shortly. I would be recommending this to all my true crime friends ASAP. Thank you Netgalley and Ad Lib Publishers for letting me read this wonderful book.

Thank you so much NetGalley and the author for providing this ARC I am a basic white girl, so I love true crime/serial killers. I enjoyed reading about some that I didn't know about and recap the ones I knew about. Would recommend this book to fellow basic white girls.
