The Serial Killer Files: The Who, What, Where, How, and Why of the World's Most Terrifying Murderers | 
pickI always like Harold Schechter‘s books. This was in-depth and covers a lot of topics, including information about famous killers and some I wasn‘t familiar with. This had been unread on my shelf for years. Glad I finally got around to reading it. Some of the details and illustrations are pretty gruesome.

The narrator is a bit dry and says the most disturbing things with a flat tone. The book was EXTREMELY repetitive saying the same things over and over and going over the same cases time and again.
1. Tagged book currently reading. Almost done with then I will start the next one in Karen Rose's Chicago Series.
2. Hot Tea
3. Only drink decaf.

Like Schechter's other books, this one was carefully researched and full of fascinating information. However, like Schechter's other books, he spends way more time than necessary on Ed Gein and Albert Fish.
panEither Schechter has a total lack of self-awareness or that website is tasteless indeed. I won't be checking it out (if it even still exists). I can't recommend this book for #truecrime fans; it has a ton of information, but it's poorly organized and very repetitive... then there are the illustrations he chose to include. The Kindle edition is also badly formatted. I may reference the list of serial killer books at the end again, however.
This book primarily consists of short accounts of the lives and deeds of various serial killers. I just keep thinking the MFM ladies did this one, and they did it better. #murderino #truecrime
I already know that Harold Schechter's true-crime books are overly sensationalistic, gross, and occasionally offensive. But they're well-researched and fun, so I forgive them. However, I'm not sure how seriously to take this book when he spells a legal term wrong while commenting on a killer's misunderstanding of it. 😳🙄
Working on my book this fine Sunday. Doing a little bit of research on serial killers - hint hint :)
pickI found this book so captivating! I couldn't put it down. In fact, I read it twice actually. I loved how it delved into the why, and included cultural information, like why people are fascinated with serial killers. I picked another good book for #nonfictionchallenge17.
(These were the only pictures I had of the book, taken from when I first started reading it.)
So, I just spent a good fifteen minutes crying over books; my book collection more specifically. My fiancee and I are moving across the country soon and I'm doing a lot of packing and cleaning today so there is less to do later. I started packing up my books. That smallish box and these books on my nightstand are all that remains of my previous vast collection. I feel like...Like some part of me has died. I used to have thousands of books. :-(
Books came in the mail today! They were supposed to be Valentine's Day present from my fiancee...But I opened them today. Lol I was going to start on The Serial Killer Files as my book for the #nonfictionchallenge17, but now I am not sure if I want to start that or one of my new books.
Just found this app today want to play but want to read more so.... sorry will play later
pickFor anyone interested in true crime and serial killers, this book gives amazing insight and details. I especially liked how he delved into the history of heinous crimes (werewolves and vampires anyone?). True crime is probably my favorite non-fiction genre and this book ranks up there as one of the best in my opinion. #Reccomendsday
