Talking with Psychopaths and Savages: Letters from Serial Killers

Letters from Serial Killers is a unique study of the criminal mind based on the author’s extensive correspondence with convicted serial murderers. Such a collection is extremely rare, and among the killers whose correspondence is examined are:

Arthur John Shawcross, aka ‘The Genesee River Killer’; Phillip Carl Jablonski, aka ‘The Death Row Teddy’; Melanie Lyn McGuire, aka ‘The Ice Queen’; Harvey ‘The Hammer’ Louis Carignan, aka ‘The Want-ad Killer’; Ian Stewart Brady, aka ‘The Moors Murderer’; Hal Karen and Ronald ‘Butch’ Joseph DeFeo Jr, aka ‘The Amityville Horror’; Gary Ray Bowles, aka ‘The I-95 Killer’;John ‘J.R.’ Edward Robinson, aka ‘The Slavemaster’

Letters from Serial Killers is Christopher Berry-Dee at his steeliest best – exploring the downright creepy correspondence with murderers, serial killers and psychopaths behind bars, with exclusive scans of letters and eerily decorated envelopes. A must-have for fans of the series, based on a collection that will eventually be bequeathed to the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit at its headquarters at Quantico, Virginia.
