"They All Love Jack" is a great book all about the Masonic connections. It's a dense read, but excellent.

It's streaming now on Amazon Prime. Alternatively, it's available on DVD - https://www.amazon.com/Albert-Fish-Sin-Found-Salvation/dp/0692292624 - It's very good, I've never seen anything quite like it.

Here is a fictional psychological thriller I wrote based on true events. It is something of a cross between Psycho and A clockwork Orange. Here is a link for anyone who would like to read Mommy, I Don't Want To! https://www.amazon.com/Mommy-Dont-Want-Chris-Friedman-ebook-dp-B07PM8XNSK/dp/B07PM8XNSK/ref=mt_kindle?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1554576045

If you're into this kind of reading (Which obviously you are) I'd highly recommend Hunting Humans by Elliott Leyton. He was my university professor for a course called War and Aggression". Leyton is one of world's predominant experts and consultants on serial murder, and I feel lucky to have sat in on his last year teaching the course, where as a tenured and retiring professor, the lectures were unbeviably interesting. A really interesting perspective. Amazon

Gr8 book about the Connecticut River Killings. I own this and have read more than once ;-)

It’s a textbook, but it’s a damn good one.

“Criminal Profiling” by Brent Turvey

http://smile.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/038523452X/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&sr=1-2&qid=1409383839

Joey from Lunch Special. Full disclosure - that's my book.

The Mammoth Book of Jack the Ripper

Chaos : Charles Manson, The CIA and the Secret History of the Sixties has just come out this year and confirmed absolutely that the Helter Skelter motive was a lie. Tom O'neill has done some amazing research and genuinely delivered on publishing information not before seen. https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Charles-Manson-History-Sixties/dp/0316477559

Another enlightening read on a much misrepresented case is The Life and Time of Charles Manson by Jeff Guinn whose extensive research also proved that much of what is 'known' about Manson was not true https://www.amazon.com/Manson-Life-Times-Charles/dp/1451645171

The Family by Ed Sanders is also considered by many to be an alternative to Helter Skelter and essential reading on the Manson case https://www.amazon.com/Family-Ed-Sanders/dp/1560253967

The prison biography of Tex Watson who actually committed the murders is available to read free online https://www.aboundinglove.org/main/images/bookPDFs/Will_You_Die_For_Mesmall.pdf

The World's Greatest Serial Killers https://www.amazon.com/dp/0753700891/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YN3zCb2ZD3E8K

Maniac was a fun movie.

I recommend these all the time, they are great:
