Books:

The book I read on Bundy is called The Stranger Beside Me written by one of Bundy''s close friends. She was in contact with him before he was caught, right through to his death. He considered her a sister, one of the few people who really understood him. I would reccomend it. The book on Mengele is Children of the Flames. I will check out the columbine book, thanks for the mention.

I've not read too many books at the moment, but I can link you to some interesting (free!) stuff I've read on the net.

Internet articles:

  • Issei Sagawa killed and ate one of his fellow classmates when he was studying in France. He was jailed and after serving time, returned to Japan and became something of a celebrity. There is a pretty interesting interview with him by Vice magazine. The reason I cite him is because he has written a few books, I have not read any of them though.

  • Another person of interest is Simo Hayha, a Finnish sniper who killed over 500 people during war. There's an interesting article on him here. The reason I cite Hayha is because I find it interesting a person can be classified a serial killer in one situation and a hero in another. (not a serial killer, just interesting)

    Films & Documentaries:

  • Zodiac (fairly accurate for the first half or so, pretty interesting)

  • Monster about Aileen Wuornos, it's ok, but not great in my opinion.

    A good documentry on Dennis Raider, the BTK killer:

  • Part 1

  • Part 2

  • Part 3

  • Part 4

  • Part 5

    In fact, that youtube channel has a lot of full length documentaries on different serial killers.

  • Richard Franklin Speck
  • Green River Killer
  • The Boston Strangler


    Things I am planning to read about:

  • John Wayne Gacy
  • Harold Shipman
  • High School Shooters
  • "Going Postal"
  • Jim Jones and Jonestown

    If you have any books you would recommend, I'd like to hear them. :)

I don't mind used books at all (actually prefer them... they just have somewhat of a magical feel <3 )

A few that I really would love to read are Ella Minnow Pea, Children of the Flames and Relic (Pendergast series)
