WARNING. The brief true crime stories in this collection are horrifyingly graphic. The most horrific facts of murder cases are typically left out of news reports, television crime shows, and true crime documentaries simply because they are too intense for the general public to comprehend. Regardless of how horrifying these stories may be, I have tried my best to incorporate all of the pertinent information.

Each true crime book features cases that have bothered me for a while. Some of these tales are shocking in their cruelty, while others are mind-boggling. There is a case about a man who ate children. There is another man who used the skin of humans to make chairs, lamps, hand bags, and shoes.

Then there is the tale of a man who drank the blood of his victims and another man who dissolved boys in acid.

Additionally, there are more accounts of serial killers terrorizing communities and crime scenes, which move experienced police officers and investigators to tears. The only thing in common with the stories in this book, which come from all across the world, is that they are all unpleasant and thought-provoking. The dark, spooky tales in this book will give you a fresh perspective on just how frail the human mind can be.

The cases covered in this book are:

• Ian Brady
• Gilles de Rais
• Rosemary West
• Wayne Williams (The Atlanta Child Murders)
• Kenneth Bianchi (The Hillside Strangler)
