Bind Torture Kill Roy Wenzl, Tim Porter, L Kelly, Hurst Laviana
Harper Collins 0061373958 / 9780061373954 Paperback New
For thirty-one years, a monster terrorized the residents of Wichita, Kansas. A bloodthirsty serial killer, self-named "BTK"--for "bind them, torture them, kill them"--he slaughtered men, women, and children alike, eluding the police for decades while bragging of his grisly exploits to the media. The nation was shocked when the fiend who was finally apprehended turned out to be Dennis Rader--a friendly neighbor . . . a devoted husband . . . a helpful Boy Scout dad . . . the respected president of his church. Written by four award-winning crime reporters who covered the story for more than twenty years, "Bind, Torture, Kill" is the most intimate and complete account of the BTK nightmare told by the people who were there from the beginning. With newly released documents, evidence, and information--and with the full cooperation, for the very first time, of the Wichita Police Department's BTK Task Force--the authors have put all the pieces of the grisly puzzle into place, thanks to their unparalleled access to the families of the killer and his victims.

Blood In Blood Out John Lee Brook
Headpress 1900486776 / 9781900486774 Paperback New
From the dead centre of the enormous American penitentiary system, the Aryan Brotherhood was the lion that somehow seized control of the city as well as the zoo, steadily coming to dominate the billion dollar methamphetamine industry that permeates Americas urban sprawl. They outsmarted and out-muscled everyone that tried to stand in their way, including the FBI, who have discovered that even solitary confinement is incapable of suffocating the tactical machinations of its cabal of psychopathic leaders. Bound together by a code of violence and silence, for years the Brotherhood has remained an impenetrable and unstoppable force. Until now. Blood In Blood Out is the first book to give the full inside story of its incredible rise to power. In witty, entertaining prose, ex-convict John Lee Brook draws on his unique access to many of the founding members of the Brotherhood, to tell the full secret story in unflinching, fascinating detail. Thanks to its surprisingly light and memorable writing, Blood In Blood Out breaks the bounds of its genre, opening up the fascinating Brotherhood to any passing interest.

Dedalus Book Of Literary Suicide Gary Lachman
FAB Press 1903517664 / 9781903517666 Hardcover New
Writers have been killing themselves for centuries. From Petronius in ancient Rome to the 20th Century Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima writers more than any other kind of artist have taken their own lives in an extraordinary number of ways. With bullets poison drugs and swords poets playwrights novelists and philosophers have sent themselves off into the big sleep. Others one step shy of that last exit have made great literature about the urge to self-destruction. For the first time Gary Lachman investigates the many links between self-death and the written word bringing together an unusual gallery of literary greats and a host of other fatal characters. Typically for Dedalus the cover s gorgeous. Sasha Selavie in QX International Dead Letters ultimately proves to be at once stimulating and thought-provoking and the section devoted to various suicidal writings is most diverting.

Psychopaths Bible Christopher S Hyatt with Dr Jack Willis
New Falcon 1561841749 / 9781561841745 Paperback New
In the most of the world psychopaths have gotten a bad rap. That of course is quite understandable since almost all of the world's religious and social philosophies have little use for the individual except as a tool to be placed in service to their notion of something else: 'God' or the 'collective' or the 'higher good' or some other equally undefinable term. Only rarely such as in Zen; in Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism; in some aspects of Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism; and in some schools of Existentialism is the individual considered primal. Here finally is a book which celebrates encourages and educates the best part of ourselves --- The Psychopath.

Ted Bundy: Conversations With A Killer Stephen G Michaud, Hugh Aynesworth
Authorlink 1928704174 / 9781928704171 Paperback New
Originally released in 1989 the book contains the full transcripts from those conversations. Without ever admitting that he performed any of these acts (he maintained his innocence until hours before his execution) Bundy offers a matter-of-fact third-person account of how someone performing kidnappings rapes and murders might go about it and how that person might act under these circumstances. His frankness offers perhaps the most unfettered look into the mind of a serial killer and many of his observations are quite surprising as Bundy reveals himself to be clever insightful and intelligent--far from how most would picture a psychosexual killer. His revelations on the nature of the instinct to kill where it comes from how it grows how victims are selected etc. are invaluable to psychologists and investigators.
