The Wikipedia Encyclopedia of Serial Killers: An A–Z Guide to History’s Most Heinous Murderers

Culled from the pages of Wikipedia, this grisly collection may appeal to hardened true crime readers. The entries span nearly 60 murderers (some paired killers are listed together); they are mostly male and mostly white, as fits the statistical profile. Many conducted their crimes in the United States or Great Britain; misdeeds range from a single known murder to hundreds of suspected victims.
VERDICT Not for the faint of heart. The blood-spattered cover and straightforward title convey the type of information found here.
