This is a collection of 15 gruesome 20th-century crime stories, featuring cold-blooded murderers who showed a complete lack of remorse for their victims. The cases include cannibal Kenneth Stogsdill; Michael Yarborough, who dismembered his victim before disposing of him in the dustbin and down the lavatory; snuff-movie-maker Geoffrey Jones; and Fritz Haarmann, who butchered teenage boys during World War I and sold their flesh for meat on the black market.
