About this listen
Discover the most wicked serial killers of the 1970s, one of the worst decades of true crime and heinous serial murderers America has ever known.
In the 1970s, many social happenings became popular and widespread. Unfortunately, not all of them were good, and a trend of serial murders came into being as well, and society was still far from being as capable of dealing with it as it is able to today.
In many ways, the 1970s was the decade that crystallized the concept of the serial killer. Those days of disco past were also the heyday of some of the most notorious serial killers of all time. This audiobook explores some of the best documented of these cases and some of the most shocking, horrific, and downright bizarre. This book does not seek to glorify crime, but it does stand as a testament and a warning about the darker side of human nature.
Some of the 15 cases you will find inside this book include:
- A Killer in Search of Seven Soul
- The Grave Digger
- A Former Mental Health Patient Turned Serial Killer
- The Hammer and Knife Killer
- The Candy Man
- The Casanova Killer
And many more!

Story
Some of the things that the psychopaths featured in this audiobook did will chill your bones.... It can be hard to understand what some serial killers have done to their victim’s corpses because it’s just beyond unthinkable, and yet, it did actually happen. There are men and women who kill not just because they desire the death of their victims but because they need their bodies. They use the human body to make things - food, decorations, and even more utilitarian items.

Story
In 1911 two British heiresses, Claire and Dora Williamson, read a brochure about a revolutionary fasting treatment that promised a lifetime of good health. The sanatorium in the village of Olalla, west of Seattle, was surrounded by a beautiful forest, sparkling waters and fresh air. The sisters agreed it sounded perfect and exactly the restorative holiday they needed. But within a month of arriving, under the supervision of Doctor Linda Burfield Hazzard, Claire and Dora began to realise the frightening truth – they were not patients but prisoners at the isolated sanitorium.

As a young man, Randall Woodfield had it all; he was a star athlete with good looks and an award-winning student. Working in the swinging West Coast bar scene, he had more than his share of women. But he wanted more than just sex. An appetite for unspeakable violent acts led him to cruise the I-5 highway through California to Washington, leaving a trail of victims along the way. As the list of the dead grew, the police mobilized to stop a twisted killer who had 44 known deaths to his name.

Eight true crime stories of murder and mayhem. In my first audiobook as a true crime author I've started with a few of the stories that have haunted me for some time. Some of these stories are unbelievable in their brutality while others are astounding in the stupidity of the killers. This collection of stories are from all around the globe and have no common thread between them other than that they are both thought provoking and disturbing. The stories included in this anthology are dark and creepy and will leave you with a new understanding of just how fragile the human mind can be.

There is little more terrifying than those who hunt, stalk, and snatch their prey under the cloak of darkness. These hunters search not for animals, but for the touch, taste, and empowerment of human flesh. They are cannibals, vampires, and monsters, and they walk among us. These serial killers are not mythical beasts with horns and shaggy hair. They are people living among society, going about their day-to-day activities until nightfall. They are the Dennis Rader's, the fathers, husbands, church-going members of the community.

Story
The most common triggers for homicide are fear, rage, revenge, money, lust, and, more rarely, sheer madness. This isn’t an exact science, of course. Any given murder can have multiple triggers. Sex and revenge seem to be common partners in crime. This book offers my memories of homicide cases that I investigated or oversaw. In each case, I examine the trigger that led to death. I chose this theme for the book because even though the why of a murder case may not be critical in an investigation, it can sometimes lead us to the killer.

Now, from the much-acclaimed author of Deviant, Deranged, and Depraved, comes the ultimate resource on the serial killer phenomenon.
