A twisted psyche and a respectable lifestyle, cold-blooded cruelty and an unremarkable appearance, extreme sadism and the ability to charm people. Each serial killer is unique, but they also have common traits that evoke horror and curiosity in us.
Richard Estep examines the profiles of famous serial killers to study the similarities and differences in their motives, behavior, and methods of committing crimes. His goal is to understand the deep mechanisms of the human psyche and the circumstances that shape a future serial killer. The stories of Jack the Ripper, Jeffrey Dahmer, the Killer Clown John Wayne Gacy, Andrei Chikatilo, and other infamous individuals highlight the universality of the factors that contribute to the formation of a killer: an innate tendency toward cruelty, past trauma, social isolation, and hatred of oneself and others.
This is a chilling and fascinating read, based on detailed research and archival material, for anyone interested in forensics, psychology and the motivations of serial killers.
