Publisher's Summary
A serial killer - your neighbor, friend, even your spouse?
Serial killers: Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and Jeffrey Dahmer are often the first names that spring to mind. Many people assume serial killers are primarily an American phenomenon that came about in the latter part of the 20th century. But such assumptions are far from the truth. Serial killers have been around for a very long time and can be found in every corner of the globe - and they're not just limited to the male gender either. Some of these predators have been caught and brought to justice whereas others have never been found, let alone identified. Serial killers can be anywhere. And scarier still, they can be anyone.
Edited by acclaimed author and anthologist Mitzi Szereto, The Best New True Crime Stories: Serial Killers reveals all-new accounts of true crime serial killers from the contemporary to the historic. The international list of contributors includes award-winning crime writers, true-crime podcasters, journalists, and experts in the dark crimes field such as Martin Edwards, Lee Mellor, Danuta Kot, Craig Pittman, Richard O. Jones, Marccie Rendon, Mike Browne, and Vicki Hendricks.
If you are a fan of true crime books such as I'll Be Gone in the Dark, Mindhunter, The Devil in the White City, or Peter Vronsky's Sons of Cain; you will want to listen to Mitzi Szereto's The Best New True Crime Stories: Serial Killers. This book will leave you wondering if it's ever really possible to know who's behind the mask you're allowed to see.

An interesting and different approach
This book presents cases in a new and different way to many anthologies. Different authors bring different styles and approaches. I think it works well. It is also an interesting mix of cases as it covers many different countries and eras. True crime fans will be fascinated.

Refreshing and thoughtful take
This is a refreshing take on a done to death genre. The various writers deliver in their own style and provide original thoughtful insight. It’s not just another murder by murder breakdown. Levels above imo

Fair
Out of all the serial killers in this book I am most astounded by Buxom Belle Gunness. I don’t condone murder obviously, but I can’t help admire what Buxom Belle did. She basically took the shit hand life gave her, didn’t take it lying down and turned sewer water into sparkling cider. She was born into an impoverished family, a WOMAN in Norway in the late 1850’s. They may be a century or so apart but Buxom Belle and Aileen Wuornos did what had to be done in the circumstances they were in. With what patriarchy put women through all these centuries, Buxom Belle’s actions was a drop in an ocean of women’s oppression.
