In this book, you’ll discover the crimes, killings and macabre acts carried out by individuals who were inspired by their favourite characters from the big screen. From the teen who slaughtered his mother and sister carrying out a Halloween inspired murder to the two young girls who attempted to stab their friend to death in the name of a fictional online character, you’ll discover crimes you’ve never heard of, all carried out by people who took their love for fiction and turned it into a terrifying reality. There’s the tale of the man who took his love for Taxi Driver to a whole new level by trying to slaughter the President. You’ll also learn about the man who adored a fictional villain from a classic movie so much that he killed two wives 13 years apart, both in a brutal fashion. Then there’s the heartbreaking tale of the gang of youths who adored a horror franchise so much they tortured and mercilessly killed a young woman who thought they were her friends. Copycat Killers delves into the inspiration behind horrifying murders and tells the tales of inspiration gone awry; when life imitates art in the worst ways imaginable.

When Mary Nicholls is brutally assaulted, murdered and mutilated, there appear to be no leads, no DNA and nothing to stop the killer striking again, which he does with relish and no mercy. The police are under pressure to bring in a suspect but hit wall after wall in their search for this disturbed murderer. When the second victim is found, a pattern at least emerges - but will it help them catch him in time? Meanwhile, the story is told of a strange little boy who grows up with a cold mother who he cannot please and a frightening obsession. Careful and meticulous, he executes his plans apparently with ease, always ahead of those in pursuit. They will only apprehend him if he succumbs to emotion, or makes a mistake. There is only one thing that might cause him to do this, but even the police must pay a price for finding it.

In this provocative cultural study, the serial killer emerges as a central figure in what Mark Seltzer calls 'America's wound culture'. From the traumas displayed by talk show guests and political candidates, to the violent entertainment of Crash or The Alienist, to the latest terrible report of mass murder, we are surrounded by the accident from which we cannot avert our eyes. Bringing depth and shadow to our collective portrait of what a serial killer must be, Mark Seltzer draws upon popular sources, scholarly analyses, and the language of psychoanalysis to explore the genesis of this uniquely modern phenomenon. Revealed is a fascination with machines and technological reproduction, with the singular and the mass, with definitions of self, other, and intimacy. What emerges is a disturbing picture of how contemporary culture is haunted by technology and the instability of identity.

VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE... A disturbed student shoots up his classroom -- and suddenly a wave of mass murder is sweeping through our nation's schools. A young child is taken from her home -- and for months afterward child abductions are frantically reported on an almost daily basis. A surfer is attacked by a shark -- and the public spends an entire summer fearing an onslaught of the deadly underwater predators. Why do the terrible events we see in the media always seem to lead to more of the same? Noted author and cultural behaviorist Loren Coleman explores how the media's over-saturated coverage of murders, suicides, and deadly tragedies makes an impact on our society. This is The Copycat Effect -- the phenomenon through which violent events spawn violence of the same type. From recognizing the emerging patterns of the Copycat Effect, to how we can deal with and counteract its consequences as individuals and as a culture, Loren Coleman has uncovered a tragic flaw of the information age -- a flaw which must be corrected before the next ripples of violence spread.
