-Manhattan Book Review
The Best New True Crime Stories: Serial Killers is an extremely enlightening and eye-opening addition to the true crime genre that had me Googling and debating so much that it took me longer to read than was justifiable. In short, it's a rabbit-hole kind of book. Buckle up and take notes, true crime junkies.
-Get On My Damn Level book reviews
True Crime addicts will devour this book. The portraits of these psychopaths will mesmerize and horrify everyone who reads it.
-Aphrodite Jones, bestselling True Crime author
This compelling collection of serial killer stories is more than its beautifully told parts-it adds up to a clear and startling portrait of murder as an addiction and the very human demons that haunt the lives of killers and victims alike.
-Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz-Age New York
This is by far the best book about serial killers I've ever read-and I've probably read more than is good for my mental health. The writers each have unique insights-sometimes because they have encountered the killers they describe, always because they can get further into the unfathomable minds of the killers through their sensitivity. Chilling, very moving (those poor victims), but above all, essential reading.
-Peter Guttridge, critic and crime fiction author
The latest collection of true crime stories compiled by Mitzi Szereto will more than satisfy those crime writers and readers amongst us who have that voyeuristic fascination for crime in all its ugly perspectives. From the virtually crime-free, ultra-respectable suburbs of Japan to the mean streets of South America where life is cheap; from the peaceful, but forever-tainted, English cathedral town of Gloucester to a Native Indian Reservation in Minneapolis; from the fjords of Norway to the idyll of a Midwest farm in the USA, this book travels the world, examining the history and psychology of some of the world's most gruesome serial killers.
-Robin Bowles, Australia's True Crime queen
The stories in The Best New True Crime Stories: Serial Killers provide insight into a compulsion that's unfathomable to the average person. Can't get enough true crime? This thought-provoking, highly readable collection will scratch that itch.
-Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger
An engrossing and multi-faceted anthology for a new era of true crime writing. This fascinating collection goes beyond the procedural to raise important questions about how man's darkest impulses both threaten and consume us-as individuals and as a culture.
-Piper Weiss, author of You All Grow Up and Leave Me
By compiling true-crime stories by some of the smartest and most thorough writers in the game, Szereto offers a one-stop-shop of serial killer intel with The Best New True Crime Stories: Serial Killers, and it's a genuine must have for any fan of true-crime books.
