Amazon #1 new release and CrimeReads top 5 True Crime books to read!

Serial Killer—Your Neighbor, Friend, Even Your Spouse?

Serial killers. Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer are often the first names that spring to mind. Many people assume serial killers are primarily an American phenomenon that came about in the latter part of the twentieth century. But such assumptions are far from the truth. Serial killers have been around for a very long time and can be found in every corner of the globe—and they’re not just limited to the male gender either. Some of them have been caught and brought to justice whereas others have never been found, let alone identified. Serial killers can be anywhere. And scarier still, they can be anyone.

Edited by acclaimed author and anthologist Mitzi Szereto, The Best New True Crime Stories: Serial Killers features the very best all-new accounts of serial killers from the contemporary to the historic. The international list of contributors includes award-winning crime writers, true-crime podcasters, journalists and experts in the field such as Martin Edwards, Lee Mellor, Danuta Kot, Craig Pittman, Richard O Jones, Marcie Rendon, Mike Browne and Vicki Hendricks.

If you are a fan of true crime books such as I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, Serial Killers: The Method and Madness of Monsters, Mindhunter, or Devil in the White City, you will want to read The Best New True Crime Stories: Serial Killers. This book will leave you wondering if it’s ever really possible to know who’s behind the mask you’re allowed to see.

“Mitzi Szereto collects some of the day’s very best true crime writing focused on one (troubling, fascinating, compelling) strand of the crime world: serial killers.”―CrimeReads

“The Best New True Crime Stories: Serial Killers definitely will appeal to the sophisticated and experienced true crime reader. The anthology is outstanding.” —Dan Zupansky, author and host of True Murder

“True Crime addicts will devour this book. The portraits of these psychopaths will mesmerize and horrify everyone who reads it.”—Aphrodite Jones, bestselling true crime author

“This compelling collection of serial killer stories is more than its beautifully told parts—it adds up to a clear and startling portrait of murder as an addiction and the very human demons that haunt the lives of killers and victims alike.”—Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner’s Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz-Age New York

“This is by far the best book about serial killers I’ve ever read—and I’ve probably read more than is good for my mental health. The writers each have unique insights—sometimes because they have encountered the killers they describe, always because they can get further into the unfathomable minds of the killers through their sensitivity. Chilling, very moving (those poor victims), but above all, essential reading.”—Peter Guttridge, critic and crime fiction author

“An engrossing and multi-faceted anthology for a new era of true crime writing. This fascinating collection goes beyond the procedural to raise important questions about how man’s darkest impulses both threaten and consume us—as individuals and as a culture.”—Piper Weiss, author of You All Grow Up and Leave Me

“The latest collection of true crime stories compiled by Mitzi Szereto will more than satisfy those crime writers and readers amongst us who have that voyeuristic fascination for crime in all its ugly perspectives. From the virtually crime-free, ultra-respectable suburbs of Japan to the mean streets of South America where life is cheap; from the peaceful, but forever-tainted, English cathedral town of Gloucester to a Native Indian Reservation in Minneapolis; from the fjords of Norway to the idyll of a Midwest farm in the U.S.A., this book travels the world, examining the history and psychology of some of the world’s most gruesome serial killers.”—Robin Bowles, Australia’s true crime queen

“The stories in The Best New True Crime Stories: Serial Killers provide insight into a compulsion that’s unfathomable to the average person. Can’t get enough true crime? This thought-provoking, highly readable collection will scratch that itch.”—Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger

“Mitzi has a diamond eye for a good story and assembles her anthologies like carefully-crafted pieces of engineering, regardless of genre. An editor with the Midas touch.”—Maxim Jakubowski

“Wonderfully written, these stories will take you on a journey that will chill you to the bone, horrify you, even terrify you but it’s a journey you will be compelled to finish. Amazing book, one of the best true crime books I’ve read in a long time.”—Readers’ Favorite
