THE SERIAL KILLER LETTERS A Penetrating Look Inside the Minds of Murderers

Softcover. Writing from prison, many from death row, 14 infamous serial killers offer, for the first time ever, an intimate look at their lives and the bizarre and often sad circumstances that may have turned them into human killing machines. Written to a young mother and Sunday School teacher, their letters are transcribed and reproduced exactly as they were written - unedited and uncensored. They contain graphic, detailed descriptions of the atrocious crimes they committed (or vehemently claim they didn't commit), the depraved lives they lived, their childhoods, their wives, their victims, their sexual preferences, and sometimes things you might be better off not knowing. Also included are rare, never-before-seen photographs as well as reproductions of many of the actual letters, showing handwriting (a graphologist's dream), drawings and other artwork that offer fascinating insights into the minds of men responsible for some of the most horrifying serial murders in history. Contents include : Edward Spreitzer, Harvy Carignan, Roy Norris, Harrison T. Graham, Randall Woodfield, Robin Gecht, Henry Lee Lucas, David Gore, Jeff Libby, Douglas Clark, Lawrence Bittaker, Bill Suff, The Anonymous Letters. Illus. 307pp trade size softcover. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
