Anything written by Robert Resler, and John Douglas. (Ret. fathers of FBI profiling)
One of my favorites is by Resler "Whoever fights monsters" but, it's hard to say which is the best, all are extremely good books written by these two. I honestly don't see how it comes any better when you're reading experience with the two minds who set the entire profiling dynamic. Here's a link to few of Ressler's best http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/c...ressler/8.html Interview w/ True Crime http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/c...ressler/1.html And John Douglas's "Mind Hunter." awesome stuff here too. http://www.johndouglasmindhunter.com/home.php

I recommend 'Killing for Pleasure' by Debi Marshall. It's about the Snowtown murders in Victoria. Extremely intense and very well-written.
I also recommend 'Night Stalker' which is obviously on Richard Ramirez. Written by Philip Carlo. Disturbing and impossible to put down. |

books i read and what i thought of them: "The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer" - 10/10. Fucking awesome book. The author never bores you by spending excessive time setting the mood and gives many detail of Dahmer's crimes as well as quotes he made in referrence to them. "The A-Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers" - 9.5/10. Awesome book detailing the crimes, lives, personalities, of big name serial killers. If you've already read a lot about them you might want to give this one a miss tho. "Deviant" - 7 /10. Very good book exploring the crimes of Ed Gein. As with The Shrine of...much detail of crimes provided. Gets a bit boring toward end tho. "Hunting the Devil" - 8.5/10. Excellent book about crimes of Andrei Chikatilo. Unlike "Deviant" there are no boring parts and much details of crimes, personality, etc. of subject present. "Signiture Killers" - 8/10. Good book by a guy who's an expert on serial killers and helped in the arrest of Ted Bundy. Walks you thru crimes of actual serial killers and gives you an insight into their mind. "Serial Killers" - 6.5/10. like "Signiture Killers" except less good. Written by a psychiatrist whose loopy theories seem far fetched. "A Father's Story" - 8/10. Written by Jeffrey Dahmer's dad. A good book but from the father's point of view. "The Snowtown Murders" - 9/10. Don't know if available outside Australia but very good book. Gives many details on torure of victims and other crazy shit. "Evil Beyond Belief" - 8/10. Excellent book. About Harold Shipman and his murders. "Killing for Company" - 8/10. Very good book about Dennis Nielson (spelling?). The problem is because Nielson's crime so closely resemble Dahmer's it's almost a watered down version of "The Shrine of.." "Helter-Skelter" - 4/10. Shit book. Don't buy.

There are so many, and yes the FBI Behavioral Science profilers wrote some excellent books.
Here's one I enjoyed by Brian Masters called 'Killing For Company'. Synopsis: Dennis Nilsen was arrested in February 1983 after the plumbing in his suburban London apartment was found to be clogged with body parts. "Are we talking about one body or two," a detective asked. Nilsen, a 35-year-old civil servant, replied: "Fifteen or sixteen, since 1978. I'll tell you everything." Besides confessing to the police, Nilsen wrote extensively to Masters from prison and offered him his journals. Using these sources and his considerable journalistic skill, the author fashions a stunning account of the largest mass murderer in British history. Nilsen is depicted as a lonely, articulate man who met men in pubs and cafes, invited them to his flat for drinks and killed them, fearing that they would leave the next day. Nilsen dismembered his victims, stuffing body parts under floorboards or boiling off flesh in a soup pot. |
