Description

A lot of people are encumbered with a mechanism called guilt. I don’t feel guilty for anything. I feel sorry for people who feel guilt.” So said the handsome, charming and unfathomable US serial killer Ted Bundy, officially the slayer of 23 women but who is suspected of many more murders. Turn to From The Samaritans To The Electric Chair for the full, extraordinary story of this smooth-talking psychopath and his four-year-orgy of sex attacks.
Equally chilling was the work of Amelia Dyer, the 19th-century baby-farmer of Reading, who murdered babies for money and is thought to be one of the most prolific serial killers in history. Read all about her dreadful crimes in the memoirs of William Warbrick.
