A man alone in a bedsit with a young woman friend, who suddenly unleashes a deadly onslaught, without warning or reason. The stabs don't hurt. They seem more like punches. Then he realises that the red liquid pumping out of his body and on to the floor is his blood. He doesn't realise, as he drifts into unconsciousness before death supervenes, that he'll never wake up again... In March 2013, Joanne Dennehy stabbed three Peterborough men to death within the space of a few days. One was her landlord, Kevin Lee. Dennehy and her sidekick, Gary Stretch, put the body into a wheelie bin and dumped his corpse in a ditch close to White Post Road in the Parish of Newborough. Lukasz Slaboszewski and John Chapman were stabbed to death and disposed of in a farmland ditch several miles away. She then attempted to murder two other men. By the grace of God they survived. Jo Dennehy is unique, for she now ranks alongside Myra Hindley and Rosemary West as one of the most heinous female serial killers in British criminal history. Only her death will bring about her release from prison. This book, by a leading criminologist and expert on serial killers, has been written with the full cooperation of the police involved in the case, and many of those who knew Joanne Dennehy and her victims.

The full story of the life and times of Kieran Patrick Kelly, the London Underground Serial Killer, who wandered up and down the Northern Line of the London Underground between 1960 and 1983, pushing innocent people that he had never met under trains, and who finished up killing over thirty people. The book provides a full biography of Kelly, discussing the details of his crimes, his victims and his ability to evade justice; he managed to secure mistrials or acquittals in twenty-five trials before being eventually convicted and sentenced to die to prison, which he did in Durham, in 2001. It could be argued that Kelly is the most investigated serial killer in the history of the world. His murders were investigated as they occurred between 1953 and 1983; they were reinvestigated in 1983 and again in 2015. The author of this book played major roles in the two latter inquiries, conducting the entire inquiry in 1983 and acting as a consultant to the 2015 inquiry. More is known about Kelly than any other serial killer in history. He was arrested before he had finished killing, then murdered his cellmate in the police station and was interviewed by the author ten minutes after this final murder, before spending the next two years discussing his crimes and his motivations with the author. The end result is a truly unique insight into the mind of a serial killer!

The 16-year-old was lucky. She at least survived her encounter with Dayton Leroy Rogers to detail its horrors. But a long list of other women were not as fortunate. Their stories had to be painstakingly pieced together by police from the corpses on the most shocking trail of terror ever left by a serial killer. The Man Who Loved to Kill Women--Dayton Leroy Rogers was known in Portland, Oregon as a respected businessman and devoted husband and father. But at night he abducted women, forced them into sadistic bondage games, and thrilled in their pain, terror and mutilation. His murderous spree was stopped only after, in plain view, he slashed to death his final victim...and when a hunter accidentally stumbled onto the burial grounds of seven other women Rogers had killed one-by-one in the depths of the Molalla Forest did police realize they were dealing with a killer whose bloodlust knew no bounds. This is the shocking true story of the horrifying crimes, capture, and conviction of Dayton Leroy Rogers, Oregon's mild-mannered businessman by day--vicious serial killer by night.

Charles Manson was the illegitimate child of a teenage prostitute; in 1969, on his orders, eight people were hacked to death in an orgy of violence. Ted Bundy had the power to charm women. With his arm in a fake sling, he used to ask them to help him get his sailboat down off his car, but first they had to go to his house ... Joanna Dennehy stabbed her lover Kevin Lee in the heart, dressed him in a black sequin dress, and dumped him in a ditch. To celebrate, she played Britney Spears' 'Oops ... I Did It Again' down her phone and then helped torch Lee's Ford Mondeo. Serial killers are the ultimate outlaws. They step outside not just the law but all human norms. They are fascinating because they are almost impossible to understand. It's comforting to know that all the serial killers featured here are now either dead or behind bars. Nevertheless, this book is not for people of a nervous disposition.

When you take a closer look at the list of the bloodiest and most violent murders throughout the history, the chances are you will mostly encounter male names. Female serial killers are incredibly rare in our society. Women are unlikely to go out on a random killing spree and injure more than one person in a cruel way. When women do kill, they prefer using poison and their motives are very personal and driven by passion. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule like Aileen Wuornos who became the most famous female serial killer. She shot and killed seven men in Florida over the course of several years. You can only imagine the shock that spread through Peterborough, a small town in the eastern part of England when bodies started showing up in ditches over the course of several days. The investigators discovered that three grisly murders were committed by Joanna Dennehy. She was troubled but her life to that point only involved drugs and alcohol, at least to those who didn't know her well. Something happened and she simply snapped, going on a killing spree that frightened the entire Cambridgeshire, as well as the rest of the Great Britain. Her erratic behavior that escalated during those two weeks while she was on a prowl continues to puzzle experts and the law enforcement to this day.

Karla Homolka is regarded by the Canadian media as North America's most reviled female serial killer for her part in the torture, rape and murder of three young girls, including her own sister, between 1991-1992. But, best- selling true crime author and former criminal lawyer, David Elio Malocco, makes the case that as she was systematically tortured and raped by her husband, the depraved sadist, serial killer and rapist, Paul Bernardo, that she was suffering from Battered Spouse Syndrome and did not emotionally comprehend the crimes of which she was convicted. He opens up the case files including psychiatric reports and never before disclosed accounts to present the Case for Karla Homolka. Despite the infamous statement of an FBI profiler delivered at a convention in 1998 that there were no female serial killers the author tells us that since 1610 there are over 700 documented cases of female serial killers. This book deals with twenty of the world's most notorious female serial killers. Of the twenty serial killers profiled, eight are still alive, seven are in prison, one is free and one is due for release in the near future. The book begins with the Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Bathory, a lesbian vampire, sexual sadist and reviled torturer, is reputed to be the world's most prolific serial killer with a total kill count of 650 victims. But newly discovered evidence, translated for the first time into English by renowned Bathory expert, Professor Kimberly Craft, dispels some of the myths surrounding the Blood Countess of Hungary. Did she really rip the throats of young virgins with her own teeth and later bathe in their blood to preserve her beauty? Read the fascinating up-dated account of this real life vampire. The author separates the killers by way of motive into Thrill Seekers (Marta Beck, Myra Hindley, Aileen Wuornos, Gwendolyn Graham, Catherine Wood and Joanne Dennehy); Black Widows (Mary Ann Cotton, Catherine Flannagan, Margaret Higgins, Belle Sorenson Gunness, Dagmar Overbye, and Dorothea Punete); the Caring Profession (Amy Archer Gilligan, Genene Jones, and Beverly Allitt); and finally Sadistic Killers (Countess Bathory, Daria Saltykova, Rose West and Dana Sue Gray). Properly researched, superbly edited and eminently readable this soon to be classic book of wicked women is a must read for anyone interested in what makes women kill and the whole concept of Battered Spouse Syndrome. This is an altogether thoroughly enjoyable read.

Aileen Wuornos was executed in Florida, on the 9th of October, 2002 at the age of 46. She was the 10th woman to be sentenced to death in the USA since the death penalty resumed in 1976. Convicted for the murder of six men, in a two month period, Aileen claimed she acted in self defence however the investigation into these claims was poor and she later retracted her statement announcing to the Supreme Court, "I'm one who seriously hates human life and would kill again." All-too-often female prostitutes have been the victims of male serial killers - the killings of Aileen 'Lee' Wuornos were the inverse of this. She was a child prostitute, fleeing an abusive childhood at the hands of her grandparents, which led straight into a disastrous adulthood of difficult affairs with both men and women. Her metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences: a stream of dead men. Following a renewed interest in this woman after the film "Monster", this is her story in her own words.
