DEATH BY CANNIBAL Criminals with an Appetite for Murder

Paperback. They violated one of civilised society's most sacred taboos. They're an anathema even in the twisted world of serial murder. More frightening still, the cannibal killer has hidden behind a mask of normalcy, as witnessed in these shocking profiles of 5 American men who ate their victims. Gary Heidnik, the financial wizard whose Philadelphia home was a dungeon of sexual slavery, torture, and diabolical feasts. Albert Fentress, a mild-mannered school teacher who lured a teenage boy into the inescapable darkness of his secret obsessions. John Weber, a country boy who found an outlet for his sick fantasies when he ate his teenage sister-in-law for dinner. Nathaniel Bar-Jonah, a portly gourmand and aspiring chef who allegedly shared the remains of his prey with unsuspecting friends. Marc Sappington, a high school dropout who aspired to outdo his idol, Jeffrey Dahmer, by embarking on a 3-day feeding frensy. Drawn from revealing interviews with family members, authorities, and the killers themselves, the author exposes the secrets behind the most fiendish compulsion of them all.
